Simple is not easy - 2

Simple but not easy:

• Running a marathon (just keep running forward, but requires immense endurance)
• Losing weight (eat less, move more - but takes significant discipline)

Easy but not simple:

• Using a smartphone (complex technology made accessible through user-friendly design)
• Making instant noodles (involves several chemical processes, but just add hot water)

Simple and easy:

• Drawing a straight line
• Counting to ten

Neither simple nor easy:

• Learning a new language
• Performing brain surgery

The distinction matters, otherwise it can lead to underestimating challenges or overcomplicate solutions.
