80:20

It was a generic chat with begun with introduction of my colleague who had come to analyze certain aspects that might improve systems. While it was more of speaking and less of listening from my end, I would appreciate my colleague was a good listener.  As the conversation almost came to an end, he taught me one of the most beautiful lessons of my life. A rule that he had learnt from certain studies and I am glad he shared it with me. This amazing philosophy is called a rule of 80 : 20, little confusing right? Let me clarify. Jot down all your challenges on a piece of paper and now look into the major 20% of the problems that impact 80 % of challenges in life. It might sound strange right now but you need to practice this exercise at-least once to see the effect, it is then that you would realize that probably the things that you keep cribbing upon are not really the root cause of discomfort in your life.

Leaving you to try it, I take your leave. Do let me know if this helped you.
