Simple Wins (<---click to watch the video)
We can be tempted to create complicated solutions to the challenges we face in every aspect of our lives. However, complex events do not require complicated responses. If we keep things simple, both for ourselves and for others, we will be able to respond more quickly and with greater clarity, and enable others to do the same.
