The Corvette and Porsche Theory.

What are Porsches and Corvettes known for?  Maybe their speed, or super sleek and classic design.  Apart from whatever these cars are to you there is one thing that stands out to me.  They are very simple in their design and serve as a classic never ending style.
This simplicity isn't bad however, instead it is good Porsche and Chevy provide the timeless style that people love with these cars.  Simplicity is what I am writing this blog post for.  Porsche has been smart for decades keeping the same style on their cars, a timeless design, but very simple at the same time.
The Porsche and Corvette Theory.How can we make things simple but better?  The answer for each of us is different.  I briefly talked about the Corvette and Porsche Method on a book review video I made on Rich Dad Poor Dad where he talks about the acronym KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid).  Simple isn't bad, I know we live in an age where we think everything has to be complicated but that isn't true whatsoever.  If you can't connect with the Corvette or Porsche analogy think of an iPhone or iPod.  They seem so complex but have one single button apart from volume and power.  They have kept this for generations on the phone, because it works and they don't need to over complicate the phone with fancy buttons when one button works perfect the way it already is.  Same with Berkshire Hathaway's website, if you don't believe me take a look at it, (http://www.berkshirehathaway.com) how simple is it?  "How big is the company and the website looks like that?"  You may be asking yourself.
All these scenarios show that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFsyCoFdITc) I think you'll really enjoy it, and the best part it only has a few ingredients!  Simple but people love it.
the best things are often very simple.  I have a video on youtube that did very well and its about my simple steak recipe.  Everyone I make it for always loves it overtime I make it.  If you wish to try it for yourself I'll link it here (
I don't know the exact reason why simple seems better, but if I think about it I notice that if something is too complex it goes over my head, and many other peoples as well, or may end up looking like complete shit.  Think of a website that is filled with nice designs, soon all the designs that look nice by themselves look shitty when they are surrounded by other nice designs or colors, and becomes too much for us to handle all at once.
Closing thoughts.
I gave you guys some examples of simple things that work perfect.  My question is to you, how can you simplify something to make it perfect?  Think of the Porsche, Corvette, iPhone, Berkshire Hathaway's website, or my steak recipe, whichever one works for you.

I hope this helped you take your life to the next level.
