SIMPLE DOES IT!

“…the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.” —Proverbs 21:11 

When the builders of a proposed bridge across the Niagara Falls began construction many years ago, the first matter at hand was how to span the river with the suspension cables. Launching a simple kite, the builders were able to get a thin string across. Using the string, they drew a rope across, which was followed by a larger rope, then a small cable, and finally a cable heavy enough to use as support in building the bridge. When it was completed, the huge structure, that could support a train, showed no signs of having once been launched by a simple kite!

This story reminds us that to do a great work you must begin small and keep it simple. This is one of life’s foundational truths.

As in Kelly Johnson’s the acronym: KISS = Keep It Simple, Stupid!
