Affirmation for February 1, 2011: Simplicity

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent.  It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction.- E.F. SchumacherThought of the day:Have you ever thought to yourself, "there must be an easier way," or, "the right answer is always the simplest answer." But why is it that the simplest, easiest answer is so difficult to come up with?Try picking up a book of brain teasers, or look some up on the web. Feel free to ponder the puzzles for a moment, but don't be afraid to look at the answer when your brain starts to hurt. Thinking outside the box takes practice, and could lead to more creative solutions in every aspect of your life!Have a pondering day...TeamDS
