There was no such word as 'Can't" in my vocabulary . my employers knew it and took advantage , which was fine ....I'm a different kind of engineer (software), but some principles are universal.The guy who doesn't know the word "Can't" ends up with a lot of tough assignments. In other words, he is never bored. He always has interesting things on his plate. Oh sure, some of the tasks are real stinkers with no real solution, but when he gives it his best shot and fails, he's recognized for the attempt instead of being given a demerit.The "don't get paid for that" guys get all the boring drudge work.--Tim
