“The most efficient way to solve a problem is to eliminate the problem”
— Paul Graham
Simplified Meaning:
When you face an issue, the best approach is to get rid of what’s causing the issue altogether. Imagine you have a garden with plants, but there are lots of weeds that keep growing and making the garden look bad. If you just keep cutting the weeds every day, they will grow back. Instead, if you pull out the weeds from the roots, they won't come back, and your garden will stay neat. This is like solving any problem in life; you need to find the root cause of the issue and fix that part. For example, if you are always late for work because of traffic, you could move closer to your job or find a different route, rather than just always rushing and stressing. By addressing the main cause directly, you can make things easier and avoid the problem happening again.
