Toolbox

I received a toolbox from a Teacher.
In it contained a basic assortment of tools.
Enough for beginning, developing, and honing a craft.
It didn't contain everything though.

Years later I would learn that others liked hammering things.
They created the Hammer Method.
Others liked the saw the best...they created the Saw System
Others still branched off and collected all the screwdrivers they could find.
They would open a Screwdriver Museum and have many visitors 
from around the world remarking on their collection.

I still have a toolbox.
I can add techniques to it.
I choose which is the best technique to use at a particular time;
I'm not bound to see everything through the lense of my Magnificent Method...though it is magnificent™

Methods or techniques?
A system or an approach?
Authority or citizen scientist?
