Georgy Shpagin, the creator of PPsh-41 Sub Machine gun, has a lot to teach you about life.
For fifteen years, he designed guns after guns. All of it with elaborate, complex and “great” design. I’d like to think that he would look at his creations with awe and pride.
However, all of his guns weren’t successful. Nobody bought it and all of it failed.
One day, he stumbled upon a secret. The secret is so simple and yet powerful. He ran with the secret and he became one of the most successful gun designers in the world. His guns became well known for effectiveness. And some are still used, even today.
“Complexity is easy; simplicity is difficult.”
- Georgy Shpagin
That’s the secret. Simplicity.
That’s why Apple became the most successful company in the world.
