The individuator knows an awful lot because he never ceases growing, learning, testing, listening, reading, prodding and pushing himself to improve. As his knowledge increases, his skill keeps increasing. Nothing builds self-confidence like being competent and able to do and fix an awful lot.
Our children need to be as handy and practical as farm kids, seemingly able to work on anything and fix anything with very little money, or the right tools. Nothing like a bunch of young people that are doers more than talkers, excellent repairman, talented, clever, ingenious and inventive.
That is a group of young people with all the confidence in the world, and in pinch, they jump right in and solve problems and think for themselves and put themselves up by their own bootstraps. There is no holding them back.
Their confidence is the rock solid, kind with real staying power, and is very impressive. They cannot help but know about good they are, but see no reason to brag about it, our seek cheap praise and tawdry attention.
They just know they are skilled, and know that they can remedy and rebuild about anything under any circumstances with duct tape and a pair of pliers.
