Busy

Recently got a bit busy. Still manageable, just that sometimes feel like having a bit more time for myself and other stuff. Anyway, some random stuff that I suddenly feel like posting.

80-20 rule aka Pareto principle or Pareto efficiency
The law of the vital few, and the principle of factor sparsity, states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.

I got to know this few years back, which I agree (wah! I found another 知己... Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto). I believe effort should be spend on the most significant vital few. Maybe that's why I am never the "Best", at most "above average".
