What are the essential Tools of Excellence?

12: Two Intersecting 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 using frameworks and models and at its simplest level that is two intersecting 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.
