Easy

Throughout my life "easy" has been something that people seem to search for. Everyone is much more inclined to do something if it is "easy" the first time we try. But, honestly, I think things that are "easy" will give you a false sense of enjoyment. If you don't have to work hard at something, it is much harder to appreciate and--without that full appreciation--how do you propose to enjoy it?
There is so much about life that isn't "easy" but that is no reason to avoid it. Some of the best things in life are "hard"--maintaining relationships, completing interesting coursework, getting hired at the "perfect" corporation, mastering Lindy or Fusion, building the strength to rock climb, getting used to living in a new place, traveling and exploring the world. Any one of these things and about a million others are actually really hard. But the more you work at something, the more you get out of it.

And don't we all want to be great?
