Always try new things in good faith.

To become handy you have to use ordinary tools.

Many people use intellect muscles a lot but not the physical muscles. It is better to use both.  And it is a joy to use them when you are used to.

It is a misconception that physical tools are easier than intellectual tools. 

If you have seldom use tools, you must give yourself pretty much time to really learn them and enjoy them. This mental preparation let you relax and learn well. Humble yourself to overcome frustrations.

It is also not more difficult than intellectual tools.

The secret is to learn them one by one as the need arises in your life, Be prepared to do it many times over. It provides as a  good physical exerciser. Some muscles are excised. It is great for your physical health and for your mental health as well if you are mentally prepared for it.

Do not do it when you are tired or become anxious. 

If you need something done in a hurry, hire a handy man. You can arrange things to be done in a relaxed way that you may learn and eventually enjoy. 

It took me a few days to learn just how to open a  locked DEWALT Miter Saw. It was not in the manual.

When you are not sure or confused, stop and do it next time. Sleep on it, probe around and think about it.

Nowadays you can more quickly learn from internet, but still you should be prepared to learn multiple times before you can use it safely, Then use them again and again to enjoy them skillfully.

When you are not sure about safety, stop and do it next time.

The more tools you have used, the faster you will learn later.

You will become a fast learner soon or later and you will enjoy all of your work.
