Not only that, there's the satisfaction that comes from, Hey! I fixed

That is indeed the thing, satisfaction of fixing a problem.


Go for it Han. There is indeed, great satisfaction in fixing things. Not
to mention that there is absolutely no reason to throw away so much of what
gets thrown away today. A sad statement all by itself. As for taking
things to a shop - sometimes that is indeed the right approach so I won't
speak ill of that idea, but there is so much more that each of us are
capable of, if we will simply put our hand to it. We cannot let the spirit
of being independent and being capable of doing for ourselves die.
