Take 3 folks, one builds a car from scratch, chassis, suspension, body, etc.... Number 2 is a mathematician that to most of the world could work magic with math (if they understood it at all), and then the third guy writes and plays his own beautiful music. They all have toolboxes overflowing with tools (albeit, completely different tools). The results of all three are fantastic and important. (OK, the car builder may do a little math if he's designing the suspension)

Everyone has a toolbox. Some people have a toolbox that's overflowing with tools. Some folks are doing pretty good to have the equivalent of a hammer and a screwdriver.
