Do it yourself, also known as DIY, is the method of building, modifying, or repairing something without the direct aid of experts or professionals. Academic research describes DIY as behaviors where "individuals engage raw and semi-raw materials and component parts to produce, transform, or reconstruct material possessions, including those drawn from the natural environment (e.g. landscaping)". DIY behavior can be triggered by various motivations previously categorized as marketplace motivations (economic benefits, lack of product availability, lack of product quality, need for customization), and identity enhancement (craftsmanship, empowerment, community seeking, uniqueness)
The term "do-it-yourself" has been associated with consumers since at least 1912 primarily in the domain of home improvement and maintenance activities. The phrase "do it yourself" had come into common usage (in standard English) by the 1950s, in reference to the emergence of a trend of people undertaking home improvement and various other small craft and construction projects as both a creative-recreational and cost-saving activity.
Do It may refer to:
You gotta do it gotta do it gotta do it all alone
No one else will do it for you
You're on your own
Do it
It may be love or war or mopping up the floor but just do it
Don't send a friend who's true to pitch your woo for you or you'll rue it
Do it yourself
Don't fake it
If you're a fake you won't make it
Wait for your break and then take it
For time and tide they wait for no man go go go go man
Do it
To prove a point at hand just look at old Miles Standish who blew it
He said to John Alden will you go ask Priscilla to do it
Mile got the heave ho
Priscilla said now that Miles is gone speak for yourself dear John
