The Secret of Life

Some people spend their whole life trying to figure that out. Do you want to know?

Let me ask you a simple life question first.

Barry can paint a wall in 8 minutes. Harrison can paint the same wall in 6 minutes. How long will it take them to paint the wall of same dimensions, together.

OK. Take your time. Use a pen and paper if you need it.

Solved?

Alright. If you reached the answer 3 minutes 25 seconds, mathematically you are right.

But life is not mathematics. Life does not follow logic. Remember I asked you a life question, not a math question.

In life, over a dozen direct factors can affect how Barry and Harrison can work together to increase or decrease their productivity. On paper 3 minutes 25 seconds IS the right answer, but life is not plans on paper.

In life you are working with multiple people at one time. How cohesive you are, can make it or break it.

So, that’s it folks. That’s the Secret of life.

I'll let you in on another Secret, there are more than one secrets of life.
