Keep It Simple
One of the keys to success is
to keep it simple. Success is
often based upon simplicity.
If you have the opportunity to
choose between a simple idea
and a complex idea, choose the
simple idea. Simple ideas often
work better.
Most music is based on simple
ideas.
For example, Beethoven's Fifth
Symphony is based on a simple
musical idea that repeats itself
in many different ways.
So it is with many things. Usually
you have to simplify something to
the point where it will work.
Of course, you can make something
too simple. So, it is best to make
things as simple as you can but no
simpler.
Simple is better but simple enough
is best.
Too simple is bad and too complex
is bad.
Simple enough is just right.
