Don't let anyone take away your big box of cables

In the digital age, amidst the sea of information that leaves one pondering, "Is this just me?" Tyler Gaw stumbled upon a nugget of wisdom. While rummaging through his "Big Box of Cables," Gaw found two cables that he had not used in over a decade. This revelation prompted a thought-provoking question: when will one ever find a need for these forgotten cables?

Determined to make a lasting impression on the significance of this advice, Gaw decided to act in a way that would etch the importance of this mantra in his memory. Every time he retrieved his "Big Box of Cables," he would be reminded of the value of keeping such a collection. This simple act would instill a sense of joy, motivation, and purpose, providing a deterrent to anyone in his family who might consider discarding these cables.

Years from now, when his children stumble upon the box in the attic, he hopes they will heed the timeless advice lovingly written on its exterior.
