"For everything simple, there's a perfectly complicated and time consuming way to do it."

Given my My Quotes app has 6 quotes and is getting really long, I am posting this to shorten this. From this time forward, I will have exactly five quotes on the app and remove the oldest one and put it in a post. Click on quote in the Categories section to see a full list of posts.

An example is math. For one, anyone who has done proofs knows that the person next to you will finish the problem in 5 steps while you take 12. Then there is trigonometry, where you use complex formulas to find the measure of sides or angles. What happened to rulers and protractors?

Then there are things like bills. For example, the health care bill is 3,000 pages long when I am quite sure the actual layout of the reform would not take even 1,000 pages. That is very over complex and complicated.

Getting from Point A to Point B includes what your dad always likes to call the "scenic route," which basically means they're either lost or taking the least effective way possible that takes a lot longer than it needs to be (though sometimes the scenic-ness is worth it, and sometimes there is NO scenic-ness).

So, everything can be a lot more annoying, complex, and time-consuming than it is, no matter how inconvenient it already is. Try to do things the simple way.
