I think what the statement means is that if you try to take a short cut don't be surprised that it may just end up creating other/more problems. You mind as well go ahead and just do something the long and correct way to begin with because having to fix the problems or do things over again because you are tyring to make things easier will usually just create more work in the long run. I do sort of agree with the concept of the quote for many things.

"It is a mistake to try to look too far ahead. The chain of destiny can only be grasped one link at a time." Â Winston Churchill

Tuesday's quote "What we hope ever to do with ease we may learn first to do with diligence." Â Samuel Johnson

That's what baby steps are all about. Linda
