I have to admit, after working for more than 30 years, many would say the amount of time I’ve spent working isn’t enough. Some might even say that I still need more experience to say that I’ve worked myself enough to become better at my job.
But I discovered that work experience is relevant. If you’re not loving your job, you don’t earn any life-changing values from it. However, if you really love your job, it’s particularly easy to take the values you’ve learned from your successes to your future projects, even to your daily life.
So, after doing some immense cross-stitching, semi-carpentry, painting and even some gardening, I’ve learned from DIY the following values.

1.Perseverance
Perseverance is something schools can’t teach you. It’s a personal value and achievement thing. To persevere, you give yourself the opportunity to push beyond your limits and realise your capabilities as a person.
It waas this one project that had me realise I was more than enough to be myself. I was making a small picture frame that’s designed with some sprinkles. It required lots of gluing, both wood and plastic. Eventually, things stuck everywhere in the house. It was my most difficult task yet, but I knew that I had to do it because if I didn’t, I’d be so ashamed of myself.
So I did, and I feel excellent!

I loved cross-stitching ever since Laura re-ignited my passion to sew some needles and cloth together to create images. It wasan’t much of a project, but it required some perseverance. There was no way to do things than to develop formulas, esitmates from observed metrics and overall experience to resolve things quicker, faster and better.
If you apply this in real life, you could do anything. Hell, you could even run your own business effectively!

A Craving For Successes
When we finished early education, we had a sense of success earning our medals and successfully finishing our duties to our parents. Upon graduation from college, we understand we have achieved everything we need and it was up to us to carve a niche in the real world.
My recent success was making my kids succeed college and finally selling off my London home to a rich property investor.
So what happens next?
I had to have some challenges, and these came in the form of the DIY projects I’ve created. Sure, they’re just shoe racks, cloths knitted with string pictures, but those are my successes.
In short, I made them happen!
