My mother put me on the engineering path, saying it will get me a good job and I can earn a good living. I can’t argue with that. It has paid the bills and provided my family with a decent upper middle class existence. I ain’t rich….but I also ain’t living in a van down by the river.
My life isn’t just math or numbers. It’s a constant juggling of personalities, architects, contractors, engineers, owners, suppliers, co-workers, budgets, schedules and dead lines. Like my wife says, “If it wasn’t for the kids, teaching would be a breeze!” If it wasn’t for the people, engineering would be a breeze.
Engineering is logical…people are not!
Hi Chris,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading both your posts. In my life I have been very left brained while I was raising children (gotta get someone to softball on time!) but now can be much more creative and laid back. I think your idea of including the Right Brain/Left Brain Quiz was great info too. (I was 10 Left 8 Right). All the best to you in your blogging adventure.

Thanks, Gail. Looking forward to reading your blog as well.

Love your last comment "Engineering is logical...people are not" as it's so true. I always thought I was very left brained but now am focusing more on my right brain and am feeling that while I'm still more left brained oriented, my right brain is not so bad - it was just out of practice.
ReplyDeleteI migrate back and forth day to day between left and right brain dominant. All depends on the mood I'm in I guess.
DeleteHi Chris, your blog is looking good! This left/right brain thing is interesting - I admit I had to google it but my test results seem to indicate I am more left-brained (55%).
ReplyDeleteThanks, Wancy. Sounds like you have a good balance between left/right brain, which is probably a good thing.
