APAD: Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication"
- Leonardo da Vinci

"In this complex world, the idea that "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" stands out as a timeless and universal principle. It means that keeping things simple is really smart, even though it might seem basic. When we understand and embrace simplicity, it brings a lot of good things. It makes things more beautiful and easier to understand. It also helps us be better people, take better care of the Earth, and be more creative. This simple approach to life has a big and positive impact."

So true, even Mother Nature agrees, as she plays favourites and that she believes in the elegance of simplicity.  "Nature is pleased with simplicity. And nature is no dummy." ( - Isaac Newton).  

But "simple can be harder than complex" (- Steve Jobs), if you don't know where and how to find it.  Sometimes It takes a lot of careful thinking and focus to get there.  So simple != simple? 

Okay, let me try to understand (hopefully): human and Nature are lazy ;-),  and it was/is this laziness that tricked us into finding simplicity and discovering its beauty. So, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication..

Happy Saturday!

consequences, over and over again. Reminds me of life & BJJ.

jiu-jitsu way to prevent injuries in BJJ?

Sure. The break-falls, learned & perfected the hard way:-)))
