In school, we learn that mistakes translate into bad grades.
This unfortunate lesson gets burned into our brains, and we go through life shunning challenges that might end in failure.
But DIYers not only accept the inevitability of mistakes, they welcome them, because they know that mistakes are a source of inspiration and the most effective way to learn. The latest research in neuroscience supports this idea.
Through my own DIY efforts, which I chronicle in my new book, Made By Hand: Searching for Meaning in a Throwaway World (Portfolio), I've gotten better at facing my own fear of mistakes.
