And advice to self - be curious.

Seems many LR owners go cheap, then blame the Marque for any issues.
Or as they say.... "The quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten".Quote:

Suggest what they may do and they'll keep listening.
The more you give, the more you get.
The more you laugh, the less you fret.
The more you do unselfishly,
The more you live abundantly.
Nobody told any of my Senior officers that one [emoji41][emoji2957]Quote:

I would agree with Lionel's advice and I became the inquiring tradesman which took me a very long way from electronics trades to IT enterprise architecture. I will add another piece of advice that has placed me in good stead throughout my career, which was given to me by a boss early in my IT journey
"You should be aware that for every problem that you have in your work life there is an escalation path so stop trying to solve every thing yourself. The only exception to this is if you own the organisation that employs you and you only need to look at me to see the pitfalls of that career path"
Technical folk often take on an unreasonable burden in solving customer issues that they are unable to resolve on their own, leading to frustration and a negative work experience. If you have a problem find someone to resolve it for you or to provide you with advice on how to solve it yourself. (and maybe don't own a business and employ people)
