"If you only have a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail"

This quote by Abraham Maslow suggests that when we have limited tools or resources, we tend to depend on them greatly and see them as the service to every problem. The hammer symbolizes a single method or frame of mind, and the nail represents a problem. When we only have one tool, we might become narrow-minded and stop working to consider alternative solutions. This can cause a limited perspective and impede our capability to successfully fix problems. Maslow is reminding us to be unbiased and to not restrict ourselves to one point of view. Instead, we should strive to have a varied set of tools and techniques to tackle various problems.
