Question

1) Expand the idea inherent in the following proverbs :
(i) A Bad workman blames his tools.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The idea behind the proverb "A bad workman blames his tools" is that, if someone performs a job or task poorly or unsuccessfully, they will usually lay the blame anything except himself. He will put the blame on the quality of his equipment, or other such external factors, rather than take the responsibility for his own failure.

A good workman would take full responsibility for any fault and not try to blame his equipment. Therefore, someone bIaming poor work on his tools is not likely to be a very skilled worker.

In other words, a person who is unskilled cannot do skilled work even with the very best tools available to him. He has little chance of improving himself as he will always blame his tools and not himself.

Answer 2

In this question, we are asked to tell the idea of the given proverbs.

• Even when a worker performs subpar work, he always places the blame on the tool and not on himself.
• Instead of learning from their mistakes and fixing what was wrong, they began blaming their tools.
• A person's tools deteriorate when they fail. But if the same thing is used successfully by someone else, it becomes good, and success is accomplished.
• If one is given the chance to shine in his or her life, one must work hard to achieve their goals and must put up their best efforts.
• Anyone will only experience failure if they achieve their goals without working hard. In addition to serving as a metaphor advocating working hard until everyone succeeds and achieves their goals, a lousy worker usually assigns blame.
