Bag of Tools

In life we as a human species are given a bag of tools. Everyone’s bag may differ but we all will have one. In the poem Bag of Tools, R.L. Sharpe explained the purpose of that bag. In this inspirational poem he explains that each person’s purpose in this world will differ but as one we will all be working unknowingly to build out eternity. Given these tools you can make your life out to be extraordinary and helpful to the universe. Everyone has a unique talent. With your talent you can build a better life for not only yourself but you can also be the inspiration for someone else. By inspiring someone you can begin a chain reaction and your idea will cause others to express their own ideas. One of my favorite quotes by Danielle Luedtke reads, “Some people dream of great accomplishments, while others stay awake and do them”. This quote sticks out to me because just like this poem it motivates you to use your tools and bring your dreams to life. The same way you can make something of yourself you can also put that bag of tools to waste. Millions of people in the world have brilliant ideas and never bring them to life. I once read a quote by Wille Jolley that stated, “The richest place in the world is the graveyard.” His explanation to this quote was, “In it lie all the people who had great ideas that would have made them wealthy, but they listened instead to some negative person who used the word ‘‘can’t’’ and they believed them. Then they took those great ideas with them to their graves!” With that being said, there is your proof that you can put your bag of tools to waste. So many people in the world put their wonderful talents to waste and over a period of time someone else will eventually come up with an idea that is very similar to theirs and become millionaires. In this world you can be whatever it is you want to be. You can use your tools in any way you want. We are all builders of some sort. The bag of tools you are handed may not be the tools you want but
