    Build stuff

As a kid I spend most of my time reading books and playing computer games. I read books about all kinds of things, but mainly science and engineering things. But I never really created stuff. No small projects, just soaking in the theory. As a result I now know a lot of theory of a wide range of things, but I would for the life of me not know how to really build the things.

Also, I'd like to say to every child me or you:

    Go out and play

For some reason I liked being inside, reading books, playing (computer) games etc. Being outside and playing would have been good for little me as a slightly too heavy and socially not as good as should be kid.
