I think the biggest compliment I could ever receive or give, for that matter, is what Paul is implying here. Simply put; think before you fall.

Whenever my wife says, “You must've been born with a screwdriver in your
hand,” she is not complimenting me as I originally thought, but rather 
in that secret code that all wives know was saying that I was a major 
screwup. 

At first, I was a little upset by this. To think that my wife thought I
was a screwup was a very hard to swallow. She did not say I was a 
screwup, but she laid all the groundwork for me to come to that awesome 
conclusion. 

To know what you can do is important, but to know what you cannot do is
more important. Every time I look at the screwdriver, I realize there 
are a whole lot of things that I cannot do. I need to focus on what I 
can do. That is the message of the screwdriver. 

We have now come to a basic understanding in our house that when there
is ever a project that needs fixing I will always look at my wife and 
say, “Would you like to borrow my screwdriver?” 

I think the apostle Paul understood this when he wrote, “Wherefore let
him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall” (1 Corinthians 
10:12). 

I think the biggest compliment I could ever receive or give, for that
matter, is what Paul is implying here. Simply put; think before you 
fall.
