If/when
all you have is a hammer...
Posted by J.
Vincent on March 27, 2003 This is going back a bit (years,
actually) in the discussion board but the phrase "If all you have is a hammer,
every problem is a nail," (sometimes given as "When all you have is a hammer,"
and often characterized as Baruch's Law or Observation) is a slightly less articulate
version of a maxim by Abraham Maslow (famed motivation theorist)who actually said:
"If the only tool you have is a hammer, you will see every problem as a nail."
