Inspiration & Paradox 29: Simplicity is not at all simple

Whether it is about making a product that is simplest in terms of its user interface, or providing a service that as far as possible does not require the customer to lift his/her finger, or present an argument that is simple for anybody of any level to appreciate, or simplifying our lifestyle or our rules in living in this busy and complex world, it all takes a great feat of mustering effort, lots of energy, a serious bout of creativity, an enormous amount of resources, big deal of time and money, and much hard work in trial and error. And this is how I always like to put it -- "Simplicity is not the same as being simplistic".
