This is Part 3 of 3 of "Why You Should Aim for the Power of the Easy Way. (Struggle easier is the wise lesson to learn from your mistakes.)"

Were you taught that life is a struggle? Of course you were. And so was I. We heard adults say silly things like “no pain, no gain.” And “if at first you don’t succeed, try and try again.”

That might have been sound advice when you were young. But now that you’re older is it wise advice? There’s only one way to find out. If at first you don’t succeed, don’t try and try again.

Fail if you must, then try something else. Try something easier. Try not to be so trying. Believe me, no pain will be your gain. (At my age, "no pain" is all the proof I need.)
