During the last part of the iron man competition, the task at hand was lifting a load of bricks onto a flatbed trailer. The advice that was given was that, no, no human has superpowers that would allow them to lift the entire load by themselves. Nevertheless, the competitors poo-pooed this and said "We can do this, just watch!"
So they tried. Not one competitor could lift the load of bricks to its prescribed location. The weakest competitor then had a revelation, though many failed to see his point.
"If you lift the bricks one at a time, maybe 2, you get the job done. Decreased chance of stress and strain, decreased possibility of injury that might cause pain."
So they did. Although many had closed their eyes to what worked, the weakest man had the answer.
"How'd you do that?" asked one strong man. "Simple," said the weak man, "I made it a point to learn from a smarter person than a load of bricks is much too difficult to lift by yourself, but when you think the situation through, you can see the answer. Not as much confusion, better clarity."
"We understand," they said, "What's next?"
The weak man said, "I listen to people who know; I'm not your boy who can tell you what happens next."
"What?" the men shouted, "Are you looking for trouble?"
"No," replied the weak man, "I'm searching just like you are, except I've got my eyes open, which helps when things are unclear to you."
"Are you playing games?" they asked.
"No," said the weak man, "I have a simple plan, like my brother-in-law, Phil, but unlike Phil, my plan just might work."
