It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

#2 A professor at a university told his economics class he was willing to grade two different ways and the class had to pick one. The first way was on a standard 90/80/70 curve with A, B, and C for grades(like a democracy, where those who worked hardest reaped the most financial reward), or the second way would be everybody got the same grade based on the average score, just like in a social system. Most of the students thought that the socialist way would be much better. So the first midterm came and the high achievered studied hard, while the middle achievers worked liked they always did studying enough to get by, and the lazy under achievers didn't study at all. Well the overall average was a B-. So the overachievers were mad because their grades stunk, for all the work they had done, while the average students were pleased because their scores were a little higher than normal, and the lazy students were estatic for this looked to be an easy class they wer going to ace. The next midterm came and the overachievers worked even harder to try and bring up the average to protect thier GPA. The middle average folks slacked off because they knew they would do ok based on the last test, and the under achievers continued as normal. This time, they got a C for a grade. Well now the over achievers were really pissed, so for the final they blew it off, thinking why should we carry the rest of the class. The average students, seeing that studying less was still getting them a C, didn't put much effort into it, and the underachievers continued to do nothing. The final grade for the class was posted with F for eveyone. The professor told them all they would have to repeat the class. He showed them why a socialistic system would not work. When you take the reward away for working, people soon figure out why they shouldn't work too hard. This is a true story, and it simply explains the social movements major flaw...why would anyone work to support others who won't. Nuff said.Last edited by stovens; 02-21-2012 at 09:46 AM.
