Learning to repair - the pointless and wonderful

Receiving the appropriate support from friends, family, mentors is an important requirement to learn a new skill.
Yet some skills can be simultaneously respected and looked down by our social circle.
Knowing how to repair is the aggregation of many skills for which two conflicting messages are sent by those around us
  • Why would you learn to repair when you can buy new?
  • Isn't it wonderful to be able to repair any object coming your way?
It is to ask what traits and characteristics someone has to pursue a passion/interests when the rest of the world appear at first to not be interested.
It is to ask the type of environment that will nurture the inquisitive mind we all have to pursue against the odds something that appear pointless.

Acquiring the skills to repair - both pointless and wonderful
