The 25 Essential Tools of Excellence: 19: Two Short Lines

Man is a generalist. No harm in that: he/she is remarkably adept at adapting and to enhance this process has created a batch of tools which allows him/her to perform to the highest levels.

When push comes to shove, what are the essential Tools of Excellence?

19: Two Short Lines

Man's a thinker for sure. Always was, always will be.  But a tool which catapulted his smartness to the next level was to support that thinking by supporting frameworks and at its simplest level that is two short lines. Two lines at 90 degrees allows a simple relationship, a graph to be expressed. Two lines forming a cross allow essential relationships to be articulated. Two lines in a long T allow the pros and cons of a situation to be revealed. 

Life is easier, better and more fully expressed with two short lines in your kit bag.
