The easy life

Life is complex and sometimes problematic, but making life easier is not hard. Time management is one way to ease one's life. What time a golf game begins, six or nine, obviously affects what time I wake up. If I only wake up at five for early morning prayer, there may not be enough time to prepare everything I need to play golf. Playing at nine gives me plenty of time to prepare, making my life easier.

There are heaps of things we can do to make life easier. Proper conduct, like lining up, driving in the right lane, signally before turning, limiting talk on public phones, and being punctual, makes everyone's life easier.

Things like Swiss Army Knives, Velcro, sensor lights, and gadget-loaded watches can also make life easy. Creativity, dedication, seriousness, efficient and effective thinking, and obeying the law contribute to the life-made-easy story.

On the other hand, corruption, selfishness, and following the law of the jungle will inevitably make life harder.

Why don't we strive to do everything conducive to the easy life?
