What has this hobby taught you?

This hobby has taught me that I'm simultaneously mentally insane, yet possess extreme mental strength to persevere through challenges of model railroading.

I figure a good mix of crazy and smarts goes well for the hobby.

I probably couldn't quantify everything i learned. there are simple things like soldering, artistic things like using an airbrush, and common sense things like quit while you're ahead (i've literally twisted apart two glass paint jars because the lid wouldn't turn.)
