A bad workman blames his tools

Origin
This proverb is derived from a late 13th-century French proverb.
Explanation
A person who has done something badly will seek to lay the blame on his equipment rather than admit his own lack of skill. Our success does not depend on what kind of tools we have but how we use them. A person may have all the equipment in the world but if he does not know how to use them, he can never complete a job successfully. Whereas a person who can make effective use of what is available with him can make derive success of any work given to him. The same can be said of real life situations too. We must learn to hone our talents and derive maximum benefit out of them and not blame destiny or fate when something goes wrong. Our success or failure is determined not by what we have to work with but by how we employ what we have. A good workman takes care of his tools. Good workmanship depends no more on the quality of the tools than it does on the way in which they are used; so, to blame the tools for the bad workmanship is to attempt to excuse one’s own lack of skill.
Example
