Back in high school, my teacher said something that blew my mind:

"If you were building a bridge, what's the best type of bridge you could build?"

Without thought, most people answered "the strongest bridge."

"You'll never worry about it collapsing. Strength is the purpose of the bridge."

But that wasn't the answer. Instead, the answer was...

"The best type of bridge is one that's strong enough to withhold the strain it will encounter and no stronger."

So what makes this such a profound idea?

Well, if you put 100% of your resources into something that only requires 25% to fully function, you're wasting resources.

You can always have more, but sometimes more comes at the cost of other areas too.

The goal is to be strong in all areas so you don't "burn your bridges" with clients.

You can't treat simple problems like they're complex, and you can't treat complex problems like they're simple.
