That’s so easy! Anybody could do that. I could do that in my sleep! Oh really? Have you? I know it looks easy, everything looks easy. The harder it was to pull off the more work was put into it to make it look obvious and easy, the more they all point and say – that’s easy, I could do that.
Well the devil, or good product, or a truly magnificent finished piece of work is in the details. And those ain’t easy. Well sure, in theory it’s easy. “Oh that, that’s just that with that and you’re done.” Or, “is that all?” Or “that’s just that, but less of it, more minimal. Seriously, anyone, could, do that. I had that idea a long time ago. I could have done it anytime, I just never got around to it.” Well ‘in theory’ everything is easy. That’s why it’s theory and not practice. In real life you have to deal with all the crap that you just gloss over, and not think about, while you’re too busy thinking about how it’s all so easy.
That’s just it. Nothing is easy. Some things may look easy, if you’ve got enough skills and experience, you’ll make it look easy. but it ain’t. Not in the real world at least. It all gets complicated real fast, and real solutions take work. Untangling that ball of wires, to make a straight wire, takes real work and skill.
Hey you, instead of going around pointing out how easy everything is, which you are too ignorant to know better, go out and do something, make something yourself. Prove to me how easy it all is.
And you, the one looking back on your own work, appreciate what you done, getting them to say “That’s easy!,” took real hard work, appreciate and remember that.
