#29 80/20 rule- Response to reading

I read this as a very confused student that failed physics, maths and didn’t even attempt economics in high school which meant I had the concentration of a two year-old whilst constantly asking myself what this reading had to do with anything.

What I got was the 80/20 rule = Murphy’s law of management “80 percent of profits are produced by 20 percent of the employees”

I guess I agree, I mean 80% of the clothes in my wardrobe have only come 20% out of my wallet (thanks mum).

Relative, I’m not sure, the rest of the reading felt a tad overwhelming and well I read it before I went to sleep last night so my tired eyes really did not do this reading justice.
