the 80/20 principle

Sep 16, 2008 16:49

Vilfredo Pareto once noticed that in most countries 80% of all the wealth was owned by 20% of people. Personally, I like the adoption of this idea by psychologists.
The 80/20 rule means to cut out those things that don't contribute to our lives, and invest in those 20% that really do. In truth, at first I didn't take it seriously. But now I feel that it works. I'm not that particular about those 80% or 20%, I just try to do those things that really matter to me and don't try to apply myself to everything.
