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.)

This is Part 3 of 3 of "Why Opening Up Is Riskier Than Bottling Up. It’s often easier to keep a lid on."

As we begin to open up… As some countries, some states, some counties, some municipalities, some businesses and some minds begin to open up, let me open up about what I don’t know whether to keep bottled up.

As you know, nonsense at work causes the nonsense at work. Like the Yo-Yo decisions on flexi or in-flexi jobs. And the unnecessary confusion as to who at work has the real power to pick who works from where.

Should I open up and admit that nonsense at work does not really annoy me? Because, like some people you know at work, I benefit from the nonsense at work. (Now that I see it in stark black and white print, maybe I should keep the last part bottled up. But it really is exciting to see such an up-tick in nonsense at work.)

Do you know what I find annoying? Those people who go about thinking that all problems are opportunities in disguise.

This is Part 3 of 3 of "Oh, the Choices We Make. And the Ones We Don’t."

Do you know what I like about living in a (relatively) free country? I make my own choices. Every day.

Do you know what I don’t like about living in a (relatively) free country? I must choose. Every day.

Enough said.

Do you go on vacation without planning it? And do you plan your vacation without bothering to find out more about the place you have chosen?
