It's been my experience that depending on someone else gets you nowhere.

Sorry, but I'd rather trust a trained electrician to set up my wiring than trust my untrained self. I'd rather not burn down he neighborhood. Many of the greatest men in history were great not because they themselves were miracle workers capable of everything, but rather because they knew how to surround themselves with other skilled and trustworthy people.

Well no. "If you want something done right, hire a professional." Should be the motto.

There are many people that can do some things better than I can. There are also many times when doing it myself is the best approach.

Of course. If those are things I'm not good at that much then I might need help but otherwise i totally don't take anybody's help. I like to do it my way so it turns out to be of what I wanted. I'm pretty much of a perfectionist and if it doesn't turn out the way I want then it's futile. lol.

I used to, when I could do it all by myself. Since I have to depend on others now, I have learned I have to trust them to do it 'right'. So far, so good. ;p

Sometimes you have to rely on other people to get work done for you. Most important things require more than one person to complete.

My day at work was very relevant to this saying. People don't disappoint me it's just expected because most people have their own way of doing things.

A successful person knows how to delegate. Pick the right people for the right jobs... Otherwise you'll stress yourself out.

I kinda agree. But I remember something Margaret Thatcher once said:
"if you want something to get done, always ask a busy person"

I can't fix my car. I can't fly a plane. I can't diagnose my own illnesses or prescribe my own medications. I have no law degree so if I would be a fool to represent myself. Lots of stuff one can do for oneself and do it well. Other stuff not so much.

People have different talents and specialties. If I want my car fixed, I take it to a trained mechanic. Doing it myself would not be "doing it right"

I always think I cook and clean better than anyone. That makes it difficult for me to teach my girls how to wash and iron, etc. because I just want it done right and in a hurry. I'm working on this problem though, because on this point, I even get annoyed with myself for being so finicky and Felix Unger-ish.
