The power and challenge of simple solutions to hard problems
One of the most challenging things to accept, especially for "smart" and "powerful" people, is that most of the really hard "problems" which humanity faces, have profoundly simple solutions. While simple solutions are highly effective, many flat-out dismiss them as they seem "trivial" and often do not lend themself well to concepts like commercialization, ownership or innovation.

“I manage my frustration in a healthy way.”
"Frustration" is defined as "an emotional response to stress." It's a common feeling that everyone will experience in their life. Some people experience frustration in the short-term — like a long wait in the grocery store — but for others, frustration can be long-term, like stress at work.
Another way to think about Frustration, is in relation to "Attachment": Frustration arises when there is significant attachment to a imagined/desired state, object or outcome (future/past) - that feels "unattainable" (estimation of required time, effort, ability - or strength of connection/relationship) from the perspective of the present state. In this view the solution to frustration is simple: Be present.

It is not the ideas we should celebrate, but the process that leads to their discovery." - Samim
