It wasn't so much what he said as what I saw him do - him and my mom did nearly everything on the new house - ran electric, put in tile, wallpapered, did the ceiling, built the deck, poured concrete for the garage, stood up the garage rafters. He took the engine out of the car and fixed it. Seeing them do all of that gave me confidence that if I applied myself to pretty much anything I could figure it out.
