During a visit to a mental asylum,a visitor
asked the Director what the criterion was that
defined whether or not a patient should be
institutionalized.
“Well,” said the Director, “we fill up a bathtub;
then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket
to the patient and ask him or her to empty the
bathtub.”
“Oh, I understand,” said the visitor. “A normal
person would use the bucket because it’s bigger
than the spoon or the teacup.
“No,” said the Director, “A normal person
would pull the plug. Do you want a bed by the
wall or near the window?
The very simplest solution is usually the best
way even in today's tech-crazy world. How
many times have you heard "take this pill to
stop smoking." Or this pill to lose weight.
This pill to cure a drug habit. A world famous
inventor once said the solution to many of the
world's problems will be very "simple." You
want to lose weight? Stop eating. Same goes
for smoking...just stop. Drugs, too...
just stop. Hard to do? Yes. Simple? Yes.
No blame games allowed! No it wasn't be-
cause you were abused as a child. No it wasn't
because you were poor, white or black, boy or
girl.
Remember the world famous line..
"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" The
President's closest advisors told him he could
not say this politically incorrect demand.
Reagan's instincts told him otherwise. He
said it and Gorbachev did it. Simple as that.
Ever tried to sell something to someone and
you talked too long and failed to ask for the
order. Happens everyday over and over.
Sound too simple...Yes! But it works. Why?
Because the buyer said "you sold me in 5
minutes and I was ready to order, but you
kept on talking and never asked for the order?
KISS works every time...keep it simple, Stupid.
Works in politics, local government, in your
business and especially in your family.
