Came across the following analogy a while back:

"Life is like photography. You've got to have the negatives in order to develop".

Would be interested to hear any others people may have stumbled across over the years.... or better yet, come up with themselves.

Cheers!

this is not an analogy but a rather glib utterance. " I want to die in my sleep at 100, not kicking and screaming like the passengers in my car!"
On reflection perhaps its a little insensitive, so my apologies to any it may offend.

I have a few. My favourite is:

"Simple solutions don't solve complex problems."

And then there is the two in my signature line:

"Unfortunately, the equating of simplicity with truth doesn't often work in real life. It doesn't often work in science, either." Dr Len Fisher.

"For every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong." Mencken
