Don't try too hard

Nobody believes I will ever say this. This is not a joke and I mean it. When it is something that you have been trying really hard for many times, and it still falls apart, chances are you on the wrong path.

The more you try, the more anxious you become, the less willing you are going to stop and re-examine the approach, the more certain that you are going to fail. Don't believe me - have you ever spent 2 hours looking for a place circling around the blocks and still refusing to ask passers-by ? The morale of the story - don't try too hard.

I wish I have known this earlier- the best solution is always the simplest one. So when you know it is going to be a tough journey, don't even start until you find a simpler approach . Life can be much more fun this way.

Well, the thing is, you never know up front if it is going to be rough. It gets rough along the way. If you have known that it would be rough, smart arse people like us would have done all the other things that would prevent the journey from being rough. Don't kill yourself over it.
