The Courage To Be Simple

A simplicity quote for today: “Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent.  It takes a touch of genius – and a lot of courage – to move in the opposite direction.  ~E.F. Schumacker”

As I described in my earlier post “Get Religious About New Year’s Resolutions,” instead of resolutions I adopt a theme for the new year and use it to guide my choices. My theme for 2009 is simplicity. I will share my process as I go along including the use of some simplicity quotations. Today’s quote has me asking myself thesse questions:

“How am I being an intelligent fool?”

“How will I move in the opposite direction today?”

“Where will I need to have courage?”

What do you think? How is simplicity important to you? what do these questions mean to you? Leave your thought in a comment.

simply,

Joseph
