If is one thing I hate is mediocrity, in fact many times i don't even atemp a project because I'm not sure I can make "Just right" actually i'm trying to recover from this illeness since is not exactlly useful in this current world standard..
On a side note many years ago I was ask this question on a bike shop interview by the great Clay mankin (Rip) at City cycle in san francisco... (I think I tell you this already ones, sorry if i repeat my self)
"so Ricardo how much time will take you to build a bike for your girlfriend"
My answer ...
Exactlly the same Time that will take me to build any other bike...
sadlly over the years i see many excredible bike mecanics leaving the Industry since you can not make a decent living and almost nobody respect your work, so is point working for money i much rather do it as a Hobby and the best way i possibly can...

Some of the best times I can remember are staying up all night working on some little pet project. Be it bikes, woodworking, cars, whatever.
I will never become addicted to drugs because I have so many other things I would rather do with my time and money. Kinda the same reason I don't watch television.
