Give the laziest guy the hardest job and he'll show you the easiest way to do it.
When im working on a vehicles and get in a jam, I always tell myself that "if i cant fix it, someone can" and I dont want to be shown up by this imaginary person and I fix it.
Someone told me that once. Its kind of like well if you cant get it theres someone who can and that guys not better than me so ill get her taken care of.
Through the years ive developed some skill with this mindset.
