The Power of Simplifying Complexity


The older I get the more wisdom I find in the ancient rule of taking first things first. A process which often reduces the most complex human problem to a managable proportion.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

There were times when we overlooked and let small detail slipped past us while focusing on the routine. There were occasion when we complicated matters allowing personal agenda and thoughts driven by past experiences to cloud our vision. We made simple task complicated by creating barriers subconciously. We made assumptions that may not necessarily be applicable to the situation. We overthink the situation, overcomplicated the problem and overworked the solution. Failing to expect the unexpected, failing to be flexible and failing to see the obvious. Thus, simplicity at its most homogeneous brought about clarity and direct action.
