I'm under aged and shouldn't be replying in here because I'm only 64 BUT before the bouncers come in to check my ID.....
Just on what Alex has mentioned, I've always found so many people's limiting factor to be the way they think. I've known people all of my life when I've offered to teach them to fix stuff whether mechanical, electrical/electronic or welding (and a range of other useless skills I've acquired over the years) they would often respond with "I could never do that". They'd never tried and gave up before even being prepared to have a go. I could build your engine, lawnmower, car, boat, I could wire your house, I could fix that leak in the water or gas line running to the house, I could fix any machine, washing machine, sewing machine through to complex CNC equipment. Anything I couldn't do I could pick up a book and then do it. I had colleagues I worked with who called me Jarod in reference to the TV show The Pretender and they used to say if I couldn't do it it couldn't be done. Though I learned my limitations when asked to shoe a horse, I don't like horses and the thought of driving nails into their hooves terrified me (animal husbandry and I don't mix, I was married to a pig for 15 years).
My physical limitations my entire life have been migraines. It's hard to achieve things when the control centre refuses to play but I have a good sense of logic and have always been a problem solver.
As for strength I learnt the hard way it drops off after 40 and spend way too much time sitting around on my fat @rse because every breath or movement is like a bomb going off in my head. I bought a chin up bar and do regular chin ups and push ups to try and retain a little upper body strength most days though I have periods of laziness where I don't bother (or can't). But, I can use my brain and solve a lot of problems, laziness just means I'll find easy ways to do stuff, mostly.
