On Saturday, I took a cab from Singapore Expo to home as I bought quite a lot of goodies. Since the journey was quite long, I had a chat with the cabby driver. He said something which surprised me. He said that his effort was tangible with rewards (ie his pay) when I asked how his business was like recently due to the economic downturn and H1N1 flu virus. He works harder by driving longer hours. He takes more money home.
What a simple linear relationship between effort and reward!
Is your world having this linear equation too?
I can think of many cases where this linear relationship does not hold.
A man loves a woman but she does not love him. By loving her more, do you think the woman would change and love him?
A student studies day and night. Does this guarantee that he or she will perform well in exam and get good grades? Apparently this is not.
A person who looks after himself well, paid attention to his health and diet. Does this ensure he will not get any illness?
