Old Adage

If you keep things simple It makes life easier to understand If you complicate it Things may get out of hand Too much information Can boggle mind and brain The brain can't contain it And the mind will feel the strain A simple approach To everything in life Will lay a strong foundation To learn thoroughly without strife With patience and persistence And the will to learn You will feel the cogs in your brain Will start to turn In the right direction If things are started slow Slow and surely wins the race It's the perfect way to go
