D.I.Y. CULTURE

Do you usually get your hair cut professionally?, Do you have your clothes cleaned ?, or Do you have your friends do things for you ? If so, you are being part of a very popular practice nowadays.

It´s a fact that getting things done by someone else is a lot more comfortable and easier. there are inclusive people who avoid doing things like doing their own laundry or dishes.

In very developed countries, like the US, people prefer to do things themselves because they say it is cheaper and the final product is the satisfaction of learning to do something and saving some bucks.
In contrast, in the Dominican Republic, the practice of do it yourself, it is not very common for several reason. Perhaps, people don´t have the enough preparation to perform certain tasks or are afraid to do them in the wrong way.


Here are some tips if you plan to do things yourself:
1- If you plan to do something, try investigating first
Nowadays, there are several tutorials on the web with tons of instructions on how to do the same thing in different ways. It´s incredible the amount of things people upload.

2- If you ever fail doing it, do it as many times as possible
Failing is part of success, remember no one has been able to perform anything without failing a couple of times.
It´s is not about how many times you fail, it is about how many times you tried and overcame the situation until you reached success

Remember
Someone once asked Thomas Edison: 
How did you feel after failing 1,0000 times trying to make a light bulb
Thing that Edison responded:

"I have not failed 1,000 times.  I have
successfully discovered 1,000 ways to NOT make a light bulb."

The idea is that -- even if you try and fail, it doesn't mean that you
didn't learn something.
