Quotes about Tools

Here is better than there.  Now is better than later.  And, most important, the Tools You Have Now are better than the tools you may have someday.

Life is about tools and opportunities.  We may not have the tools and opportunities to do what we want to do. 
Yet, for certain, we have the tools and opportunities to do the sacred jobs we are here to do.

Tools are great. But giving people tools, without first changing their mindset is useless.

People buy more weight loss books/diets (tools) than all other books, yet people are fatter than ever. Why? Most diets do not address the psychological reasons (mindset) for eating.

The same holds true for innovation.

Do not train your employees on creativity techniques or bring in innovation software until you have addressed your underlying cultural issues (the mindset).

You can't cut a roast with a butterknife any more than you can dice a chicken with your tongue. Well, you can, maybe, but there are certainly better ways to do it.

Quote

At the utmost, the active-minded young man should ask of his teacher only mastery of his tools. The young man himself, the subject of education, is a certain form of energy; the object to be gained is economy of his force; the training is partly the clearing away of obstacles, partly the direct application of effort. Once acquired, the tools and models may be thrown away.

It's essential to recognize that no tool-no matter how powerful and sophisticated- can approach the vastness of the universe and life itself.
