Simone Giertz : Why you should make useless things

Simone Giertz at TED2018
Why you should make useless things  (transcript)
Summary
Wow! I remembered that I also made many useless things when I was a kid.
My mother was good at sewing and she made my sister’s and my clothes often. I copied my mother, but l couldn't make anything well. What I sewed is called a poor quality and what homeless used. Last, my mother said to me that stop making useless things. I was disappointed.
However, l had passion to make something somehow. I believed that one day, l could make beautiful things if l would practice hard.

The speaker tells us that the true beauty of making useless things is to acknowledge something that we don't always know what the best answer is.
And then she tried thinking that she was going to build things to fail because what she made was nearly impossible to fail.

I see. It means that she succeeds always by using that way, she can remove all pressure and expectations from herself, and her pressure seems to be replaced by enthusiasm. It allows her to just play or enjoy.

I hope that one day, she faces huge failure.
Her failure that is building things to fail is failing is her success.
After all, failure teaches success.
