[Blindtlk] NFB Guide Dog School, A Possible Scenario

[Gary Wunder]

I have never found one way of doing something to work all of the time. God
gave us a brain to think and make decisions. He also gave us the ability to
learn so that we don't have to reinvent everything we need. Find a good
source for the things you want to know and then take what you like from him
and leave what doesn't fit for you.

Gary and others,


    One thing that I agree with others is just experiment with different
techniques to see what best suits you not anybody else. For some on here
that autonomy works sometimes but you'd be lead estray that you think that
one way will work 100% of the time. Relying on just one simple tool being
blind is not affective. Think of yourself as Batman or some other superhero
cause that is what is what we have to be to survive in any profitable
measure in this world that is it.
Keep honing your method till you get down your style that fits you and don't
listen to anybody on not to do something. Try it yourself cause what fits
some of us doesn't fit all of us.


good luck,
Peter
