I was at a fairly high end tailor today, and the sheer beauty in the art of crafting a perfect fitting suit is unparalleled.
When I see a true master make the right knots and use chalk to measure on fabric, the beauty of peak human skill emanates from each motion.
It made me realise that we might be doing something extremely interesting in our day jobs but it is extremely hard to showcase true human mastery in it.
Suddenly, it dawns on you that although white collar jobs are paid well commensurate to the value they create, we seldom obtain skills that exhibit a similar level of craftsmanship.
There is indeed true beauty in the creation of the perfect suit.
Somehow, it is a reminder for us all that builders are the ultimate value creators. Enablers ensure value enrichment but you can’t enrich something until the genesis of value.
And it is the death of human ingenuity if we become glorified file movers.
Why are some examples of human craft that makes you awestruck? What are your thoughts on this post?
Would love to hear you all out.
