I think there are really a lot of people these days who are technically handy. For example, I remember a friend of mine who always wanted to repair mobile phones or computers or laptops. That\’s what he was always into. But in retrospect, he actually liked to fix things when he was a kid. I\’ll never forget his escapades and other mischief, when he liked to assemble furniture or always made fun of us, when he assembled a chair for us in the third grade. Yes, he did all that in third grade, but I don\’t blame him, because his parents are all handy, and even his grandfather.
So he worked making baskets. He also got to make garden furniture. So I thought that maybe he was just his grandson at it too. And that\’s how he learned the trade. Here at least you can see that people learn the most just by practice and they don\’t necessarily go to school to learn just the theory because if you only learn about technology or science by theory and you don\’t try it out, like by practice, then in my opinion you learn less than half the time by practice you always learn one hundred percent. But if you take practice and theory together, it will still be more difficult because it is always by practice that one learns the most and the most effectively.
Think what you will of me, but is this true, and this also applies to technique and/or other technical knowledge and/or skills. I\’ve always wanted to make something out of ceramics, I really enjoyed that. I also just had a potter\’s wheel. Although it was not brand new, I got it from a second-hand shop and I regretted that afterwards, because even though the sales lady told me that her potter\’s wheel was really perfect and without defects, and that it was also in the repair shop, when she guaranteed that it was absolutely fine. So unfortunately after three weeks it broke. And then when I took it in for repair, I was told that it couldn\’t be fixed, that it was just a flimsy fake repair. So that it could just be sold. I was really disappointed.
