et’s all — every single one of us — take an advanced (20-year) course in auto mechanics. We’ll start while barely out of diapers and continue our study until well into adulthood attending classes all day every day for most of every year (don’t worry — there will be a few days off here and there). For those of us who aren’t naturally inclined toward car mechanics tutors will be provided and with extra work we can all succeed.

Oh wait — I hear a few objections coming in. I’ll read them out to you along with my answers:

1. “What if I don’t like auto mechanics? How will I be able to survive the 20-year program?” That’s a very good question. Unfortunately in order to succeed in life every adult needs to be thoroughly familiar with auto mechanics. If you don’t like it you’ll just have to endure it until you graduate.

2. “What if I’m not inclined toward auto mechanics? What if my brain just doesn’t grasp those concepts and my hands won’t do the work involved?” Another good question. As I said with extra study and effort you’ll eventually improve. Just keep at it.
