September 30, 2025: The Tailored Tool

Nature is a brilliant engineer.

I came across this interesting quote from Gretchen Rubin: “The bird, the bee, and the bat all fly, but they use different wings.”

This got me thinking:

  • Bird feathers overlap like shingles, catching air and turning it into lift

  • Bees twist their wings in a figure-eight, like tiny helicopters

  • Bat wings are skin stretched over fingers, giving them acrobatic precision

Three unique designs.

Birds soar on lift. Bees buzz with speed. Bats spin with agility. Each conquers the sky in its own way.

Use the approach and the tools that work best for you, because the method doesn’t matter if you’re flying.

Who cares if you glide, spin, or zigzag?
