⊙ Quote of the day: Take Responsibility - The Importance of Self-Responsibility
A bad workman blames his tools.
- English proverb -
- A bad workman always blames his tools.
- An ill workman always quarrels with his tools.
- A bad workman finds fault with his tools.
- A bad shearer never has a good sickle.
The proverb's origins are unclear, but it is believed to have originated in 13th-century Europe or England in the 16th century. Like the sayings "A bad workman blames his tools," it reminds us to take responsibility for our own actions when we fail or make mistakes, rather than blaming external factors. It suggests that a skilled or competent person can overcome challenges and achieve success despite limitations, while an incompetent person will always find excuses for their shortcomings. The proverb warns against an attitude that refuses to acknowledge one's own lack of ability or effort and tries to avoid situations with excuses.
