Savon du Midi Karité Soaps
Creating something with your own hands leaves you with an incomparably good feeling. Using your hands workmanlike is a nice way to happiness. Why not build the new coffee yourself? Using old wine crates, for example. This way you create an absolutely unique piece in the living room and additionally are admired by your guests. Moreover, it is more sustainable than to buy a table from the catalogue. This is how Professor Matthew B. Crawford of the University of Virginia thinks as well. He does not only stand in front of his students, he also stands in his own motorcycle garage. A few years ago, the philosopher wrote the book: "Shop Class as Soulcraft: An Inquiry into the Value of Work ". The graduated American is sure: "I only learned how to think right in the garage!" The book had a finger on the pulse of time and became a bestseller instantly. In it, Crawford describes the satisfaction of being able to build or fix things with your hands. However, this knowledge is nothing new. The tendency to take everything apart can already be observed with children. They often dismantle everything that will fall into their hands out of curiosity.
When the parents then can help to put the clock back together, they are heroes to their children. Furthermore, it is a very good way to let children know that they can shape their lives with their own hands. And most importantly, it is fun as well. Later, big children will spend hours in the garage tuning their rides or fixing the lawn mower.
What wrenches are for some, are shovels and garden shears for others. Planting, digging, weeding and watering again and again is a lot of work. In return, the salad with home-grown vegetables tastes a lot better. Gardening is also a nice way to show children that food does not grow in the supermarket, but instead requires hard work and patience.
