The reason we tend to find things like this funny is because we can see the reality in them! Do we over complicate things? Do we feel the need to make things so detailed we miss the overall goal or mission?
A saying that comes to mind that would apply here and to many situations is K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Stupid…or the politically correct Keep It Simple, Silly!) Another form of this is Keep It Short and Simple. Although some situations are no doubt very complicated, the most beneficial thing you can do is try to simplify it the best you can and certainly do not complicate already simply issues. This can apply to business plans, customer issues, setting goals, deciding your mission and so much more. So next time you are faced with an obstacle, issue or decision, make it an opportunity to embrace it and K.I.S.S.
