Question for all you DIY people

e14 Contributor

Hello community of the Element14 website!

 

 

A friend and I are doing a hypothesis which is what people think DIY is valuable for?

My friend and I would appreciate you guys to give up some answers! Thank you in advance!

    DIY is about learning by doing. Some of the rewards are:

    • interesting challenges to occupy and grow our minds
    • accumulation of knowledge (knowledge is power)
    • satisfaction of accomplishment and achievement (the harder the project the greater the satisfaction)
    • it is a great creative outlet and the result may even be useful
    • the ability to take control of the physical world and adapt it to our wants and needs
    • it builds self-confidence and self-reliance and reduces dependence on others to take care of you
    • accolades for accomplishment, industriousness and creativity
    • training and experience useful in obtaining and keeping a job
    • it is fun to do interesting things and interact with others doing similar things

    In short it expands our capabilities, knowledge, experience, earning power and enjoyment of life.

    And people we respect praise us for doing it.

    Incidentally "failed" projects often have the same set of rewards as successful projects so failure is not a great description for such projects and there is no real downside to DIY.
