Simplify. Simplify.

Ah, don’t we all wish? (Of course, the man who wrote those words - Thoreau - also had his Mom doing his laundry for him…and bringing him homecooked meals most days…and he was living rent-free… with no family. He wasn’t exactly roughing it at Walden’s Pond.) It’s not always as easy for us real grown-ups. We humans are a complex, contrary, confusing, confused, generous, grabby, grubby lot (that’s all the fun, glory and tragedy of humanity). However, Trevor Gay in the U.K. has some thoughts - and has published a book, “Simplicity.” I’ve not had a chance to read it, but Trevor has been my worthy adversary in commenting back and forth on Tom Peter’s blog and is a sharp fellow…so check out his blog

    Thanks for that Mary.

    Simplicity in everything has always been my mantra.

    I beleive complexity is merely the sum of simple parts.

    I am sure the world of business would be a better place if simpliicty and plain language were always used instead of the management jargon designed to confuse.
