We have all experienced personal situations or witnessed examples where it seemed common sense was lacking. Just because something is common sense, does not make it common practice. Quite often the opposite is true, where the most sensible and basic solutions are missed while we overcomplicate the very nature of a situation.

Most obstacles can be overcome with practical and sound judgment, which requires more than simply possessing “common sense”. The resolve comes with acting upon that knowledge. Common sense must be combined with initiative and action to reap the benefits.
