"私があまり計画や心配に時間を費やさない理由は、それがまるでハンマーでハエを叩こうとするようなものだからです"
— George Carlin

Simplified Meaning:
If you spend too much time planning or worrying, it can be a waste of energy. It's like using a huge, heavy tool to kill a tiny insect – it's too much effort for a small problem. In real life, imagine you have a simple homework assignment. If you start thinking about it a lot and making too many plans, you end up using extra time and energy that wasn't needed. Instead, you could quickly do the homework and move on to something else. The idea is to handle problems in a simple, direct way rather than overthinking them. This way, you save time and feel less stressed. By not overcomplicating things, you can focus on what really matters and be more efficient.
