DIY: logic stance for healthy living

Modern culture though flamboyant misses out on the fundamentals. Do it yourself is a very effective phrase in today’s world where people are dependent on skilled professional to do every odd end job including screwing up a nail on the wall. Even the famous Barney Stinson is seen showing pride that he can afford to pay for these jobs. However the fact still remains that why should one waste resources on things they can do themselves. In this fast developing age, we should learn to be more independent, rather than being a slave to machinery, technology and skilled workers. With fields turning into residential complexes and schoolbags getting heavier, even though time becomes a constraint, each child should take to best utilization of the DIV tools.

Hands-on

Men have traditionally been very hands-on. They like to fix things which have broken, and sometimes, even the ones that are not. They like working with hammers and spanners.

This has given rise to a new kind of industry. Its called DIY, or Do It Yourself. Here, a person buys a kit which has all the parts needed to make a particular item. The kit, generally, also contains an instruction manual on how to fix all the parts together, and make the resultant item work properly. This sort of activity gives men a sense of achievement and pleasure after their mundane day jobs. Such activities have also increased sales of high quality machining tools.

DIY Movement: an evolved means of living

Our educational system, in its entirety, does nothing to give us any kind of material competence. In other words, it does not teach us the absolutely fundamental things of life
The DIY movement is a re-introduction of the old pattern of use of personal skills for the upkeep of the house, cars, computers or any material aspect of living. DIY movement gained momentum in the 1970’s with various magazines offering readers current practical skills and techniques to perform household improvements. Beyond magazines and television, the scope of DIY continues to grow on the internet with various sites offering basic DIY tools for daily activities.
The DIY movement allows us to carry out the various basic activities with the help of the required tools. After all, why need professional aid when you can do it yourself!
