Self-Deception


"If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail."
Abraham Maslow

  1. Since Peter, Paul and Mary we know about the hammer´s variety of use. But very often we ask for specifically purpose-made tools even though a hammer would be sufficient.

    This proverb is a good reminder of “Change the view”. Change the viewing direction from tool to object.

  2. Being asked for an advice very often we instantly take our tools into hand. Better at first we should have a look on the client.
