The 80/20 Rule

Ok, so I probably shoudln't be posting today, since I have a mound of work on my desk (see below), but I needed to get some things out of my thoughts....

I finally sat down and watched the movie "Why Did I Get Married" this past weekend. Great movie, if you can really relate to the characters and the culture. Well during the movie, as the men were discussing what is become known and "man law", one of the characters broke down the 80/20 rule. For those of you that aren't aware, here goes:



Often times in relationships men and/or women find themselves in a situation where the person that they are with has 80% of the attributes that they feel they desire in a mate. However, as time progresses....

(note the 3 day lag time in finishing this post, lol)....so much can happen in 3 days.

(However as time progresses...) people begin to realize that they are missing out on 20% of the wholeness that they desire. This can cause people to step outside of their relationship in order to seek the 20%. What is often times missed is the fact that they are totally oblivious to the goodness they have at home (80%)....

I wonder if its possible to have 90 or 95%....that sure would decrease the odds of stepping outside....hmmm
