The Impact Comes From The Craftsman,

Just like every powerful tool, the impact comes from the craftsman, not the tool. -Seth Godin

Just read  this blog entry from marketing guru Seth Godin and loved this line. and its very true. True for all the things that I advocate in this blog. Catia, Solidworks, Ansys, Nastran, Unigraphics, Hypermesh, Fluent, ICEM, Isight, Gambit,Patran etc are powerful tools but that power doesn't come by itself, it comes from the users who uses it.

Its not the tools that create great things, its the application by the "craftsman" who makes wonders with them.

Always remember this when you are playing and handling your tools. You are the driver and where the vehicle will go is always in your hand and how skilful you are in it.

Same can be said for the slumdog film, there was nothing spectacular in the script, simple characters, simple scenes but the directors use of scene, screen play and  treatment made all the difference.... The camera, the technicians and the locations were all same that you will find in any Ram Gopal Verma's film, only thing that made slumdog great was its application.

So whenever you are looking at your tools, go forward with this attitude. You will surely win your Oscar!!!
