A bad workman quarrels with his tools
A bad workman quarrels with his tools
Most of the times, the statement is true. The tools are the easiest to quarrel with because they don’t answer back, don’t they? Sometimes, even the good workers blame their tools. But good workers always take care of their tools.
Generally speaking, weak people blame others for their failures. They engage in arguments over who is to blame and they don’t assume responsibility for their actions.
