Quote of the Day – Karl Popper

Quote of the Day… not actually daily, but whenever I encounter one I think worth sharing and there are not too many in sequence.  I like quotes as they frequently distill a piece of wisdom into a brief passage, or make other points very succinctly – such as the witticisms of Oscar Wilde.

“All life is problem solving” ~~   Karl Popper

Scores of years ago I decided that I have never had an original thought in my life.  When I think I have one now days, a quick Google search dissuades me from the delusion.

All to say that years ago I also decided that life was nothing more than a series of problems to be solved.  Even if you want to do something fun, say a trip to Tahiti, there are a series of steps — problems — that need to be resolved.  Once I had this epiphany, for lack of a better word, I stopped being so upset by the many speed bumps or even craters that life throws our way.

Take my profound advice and $2 and change, and you will be able to buy yourself a soda pop.
