As I interact with more and more folks, I keep being impressed by the following slogan: “Mnimum Effort, Maximum Benefits.”
What that means is: do as little as possible, then expect as much as possible in return.
I started to notice this when people, including me, didn’t use the walkways to cross the busy city streets, but instead cut through traffic to minimize the time it takes to get somewhere. We can’t be bothered to burn the extra minute or two we’d need to do it the “right” way.
Another example of this is cutting through parking spaces in parking lots when driving. Would it really hurt to drive in the designated lanes more?
