Answer 1

mathod是方法、办法的意思一般是指用来解决一些学习、学术、技术等这方面问题的方法，mathod 的英文意思是a way of doing something,espacially a systamtic way ,implies an orderly logical arrangement(usually in step),整体意思就是解决问题的套路，
way 也有方法办法的意思，但从这片文章52 后面的change our lives and achieve our dreams
来看，way 是另外一个意思“方向，道路”，这要结合你的文章来看，在文章中指的是人生的道路，具有更深的含义。而mathod解释中没有这方面的含义。
tool就更不用讲了，它是工具的意思，在文章中没有特殊的含义。
