When Skills Are Built

Skills are built because we need to build them. Everyday, we are faced with tasks in our jobs and our lives that require us to step way beyond basic. It’s when you’re in the toughest moments of your life (which can sometimes be life-threatening as well – though that’s not necessary to push past your limitations) that you find just how much you have within you. Witnessing these knuckle-biting moments (the first video was via Reddit, followed by another on Youtube) gives you a new appreciation for honing your skills to the edge of perfection, because everything depends on you doing your best.

Maneuvering a Caterpillar in tight spaces:

Every job has skill sets that we would never imagine. It tells a lot about a person when they can perform at this level of perfection when the time calls for it. We really do have it in each and every one of us to shine. Especially when anyone else would call us insane to do what we just did. Bravo for your guts to face a challenge head-on. Just remember to be as safe as you can if you’re faced with this kind of challenge.
