As Kiwis, we’re known for our<br />
No 8 wire mentality. The idea<br />
that we will always find a solution,<br />
whether by traditional means or not.<br />
Yet, with our fast-paced lifestyles, it’s<br />
perhaps not as wide-stretching an<br />
identity as it once was.<br />
When we are once more forced<br />
to play the hand that is in front of<br />
us it can be surprising what results<br />
we can muster. There’s nothing<br />
wrong with calling in the experts,<br />
but there is something great about<br />
trusting in your own abilities to<br />
reach that solution by yourself. The<br />
satisfaction I felt using a mitre saw to<br />
turn construction waste into fire fuel<br />
remains a lockdown highlight and I’m<br />
sure you’ll have your own high-five<br />
moments, be it baking bread or fixing<br />
something with your own two hands.<br />
Artisans, like the ones we feature<br />
in this issue, are often set on their<br />
paths by realising there’s no one<br />
doing quite what they’d like to see<br />
done. Then comes the turning point<br />
when they see that they truly can do<br />
things in a better way.<br />
Starting a new venture or changing<br />
our behaviour is often the scarier<br />
option, but great things come as a<br />
result. And hey, a few batches of<br />
burnt biscuits never hurt anyone.<br />
So, let’s support those who<br />
are giving Kiwis a good name,<br />
encouraging us all to give it a go and<br />
delivering some amazing results.<br />
