What It Takes To Make !

Man has been a maker throughout evolution.The itch to explore and to make difficult tasks easy lead him to make, Build and create enormous things, which we are taking for granted today.

After getting into Engineering, Few dialogues am constantly been hearing are

"I want to build something"

 "That fellow is building something, Even I want to build, but don't know where to start"

"Starting is ok, but don't know anything regarding it"

 "What if it doesn't work"

"I want to make a project but  first I will study about it, then will start building "

Among many I heard, few built things and rest are uttering the same dialogue till now after being in Engineering for four years.

  I was just wondering among those who got in to building and tinkering with things including me, what made us to start off with it, and what stopped others from getting in to it or made them to just think about it and not do anything.

Lack of knowledge? Lack of Skils? Lack of tool set? etc etc bla bla bla?

I think it is "The Fear of Failure"

Those who started off were fine with not knowing anything because not knowing anything opens the door to start exploring and learning new things. 

They were open to failures because failure teach a lot of things practically than theory.

At the end they just started, Sometimes planning is good but over planning kills the interest many a times.

So what it takes to make is nothing but just not waiting for any right time and to wake up and just start off with the things which we love to make. Me being an Engineering Student writing this with Engineering perspective, but this applies to every field, hobby or anything.

So kick the maker in you and start building things because the itch was always been there throughout evolution but ignition was lacking which only you can provide to yourselves.
