The Easy Way

I hear this all the time: “What’s the easiest way to [do something]?” And it makes me cringe every time. Here’s the thing – the right way is rarely the easy way, so that person is really asking “What’s the wrongest way I can [do something]?”

The only easy way something can be done is by not doing it at all. Otherwise, you can do it the wrong way or the right way – seems to me, there is a clear best choice.
