“Complex things, if we don’t understand them, they seem complicated. If we understand them, and know how to handle it, they are simple.”
Those are the words of Erno Rubik, the maker of the Rubik’s cube.
It’s true. When we don’t understand a problem, we guess the solution. Guessing makes us feel like we’re doing something about it, but in most cases, we’re actually making things worse.
On the other hand, if we take the time to study the nature of the problem, we may find that it is really simple to solve.
If you Google, “how to solve the Rubik’s cube” you will know what I mean.

I am working on a project called RainDrops. It is a series of 5 – 10min online courses with challenges [or projects] that will help us understand some useful concepts like money, starting a business, finding a job, getting a raise, creating habits… and all sorts other things.
Please look out for it.
