"<p>In life and at work, be careful not to be tempted by the trivial, the casual, the convenient. There's always a chance that will relieve the tension of the effort required, offer a side trip, a cheaper option. Talk about the essential, write the essential, act the essential. It is always harder, it takes more life force - and yet, when you resolve to give the situation or the work your essential effort, you find that it was the simplest, yes, the only possible solution, the perfect one. The incidental, the half-solution, the cliché, the evasion, the evasion, the evasive artifice, ultimately requires more and meaner effort than the essential, the simple, the perfect. When you take the middle road, you waste. The essential is always cheaper, more useful, more effective. Live economically, create frugally, spend your energy on nothing but the essential.</p>"
