Gigaton

Here's a bit of advice that I failed to mention before.

If you die once, dust yourself off and give it a second go-round.

If you die any more than that, log off for a while. You're a Blaster and you tend to buy the farm easier than most. I'm not saying give up altogether, just give yourself some time to reflect on what it is you may or may not be doing to get further ahead as a Blaster.

Have no fear.

Go into every situation with the firmest belief of I WILL WIN.

As many have said before me, adaptation is the biggest part of being a 3B. But part of adaptation is learning to take risks.

Push thresholds. If someone out there is saying "You can't possibly do that!", open their eyes to a new way of thinking just by doing it. You're a damn arsenal and you know this in your mind, heart and soul. Open up with everything you've got. You're a Blaster and we don't wear kid gloves.

Now I'm not saying go into what looks like a pavement eating contest with a fool's bravado. Take into account what's around you and the tools to do your job. Just like a housebuilder, you're only as good as the tools you use and your knowledge of them. If you know them well, you'll be a force to be reckoned with.
