"Duh" Ideas

Ever get some distance from a problem, see exactly what you've been missing, and kick yourself for not recognizing the obvious sooner?

Or worse: if you're full of pride like me, someone from the outside comes in, sees the solution immediately and makes you feel like an incompetent moron.

Here are a few "duh" ideas that have hit me recently:

• More of us need to learn to speak conversational Armenian.
• We need to set more money aside in the budget for the poor.
• We need to learn and remember everyone's name who walks through our doors.
• We need to make sure our doors are open to the community, literally and figuratively.
• We need to look for answers to others' prayers among our own considerable resources.

Any more "duh" ideas that strike you? (I promise not to resent you.)
