Features: "It seems difficult, but it's not that hard" emphasizes decisiveness. One of the privileges of youth is not overthinking success or failure—when you want to act, act; when you want to make a decision, decide. However, older people are not like this. They often worry too much about the outcome of things, fearing failure, and are overly cautious about everything but lack decisiveness. I advise you not to hesitate or dillydally at such moments but to take decisive steps. "It seems difficult, but it's not that hard"—the situation will definitely go smoother than you imagine. In the past, I wrote a book titled Start by Taking Action, in which I believe that decisiveness is the most important thing to make our long lives rich and fulfilling.
