A Satisfying Observation

𝑹𝒐𝑩𝑰𝑵 🪐 Poem October 12, 2020October 13, 2020 1 Minute

German engineering,
German directness,
It’s no coincidence, right?

The no-nonsense confidence and impatience,
To say what needs to be said,
Total disdain for bullshit and procrastination,

No pussy-footing around,
When curt and simple will do,
Analytical and pragmatic, often,
It’s something to aspire to!

Hey I have a Germanic name!
Meaning famed, bright, shining 🙄.

I write poems which are mental health-themed, creative or humourous :). Within mental health I write a lot about: ADHD, OCD, anxiety, autism, emotional trauma— usually with an optimistic slant. My goals for my blog are to give myself a therapeutic, creative outlet whilst also being able to connect with and relate to other people. View all posts by 𝑹𝒐𝑩𝑰𝑵 🪐

Simplicity is complex. It’s never simple to keep things simple. Simple solutions require the most advanced thinking.

  Well, not always. I take issue with that statement/opinion, lol. I totally see it, that for sure it takes more thinking sometimes. I’ve seen that apparent in maths/physics/computer programming/engineering. However you can definitely find examples where simpler solutions also come from simpler thinking!
  
  So, trying to apply that simple viewpoint itself too generally is a form of unnecessary complexity!
  
  My head hurts now 😆.

    Ah, Einstein’s is bang on! To what I was getting at—
    
    “Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.”

    That Richie Norton quote applies perfectly to special & general relativity.

    Here is an example of the inverse of Norton’s quote lol:
    
    “Just keep it simple. When you over-think what you’re wearing, that’s when wardrobe malfunctions tend to happen.”
