The Law of Dimishing Returns

This law is explained here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diminishing_returns

On the lighter side of it, it struck a familiar chord :-) There are so many things around us that fall into this category (in a twisted philosophical way that is)!

Think about it - what in your life would you attribute to this?

"It basically indicates that the more you put into something the less you will get out of it."


Thats not the correct interpretation! It states that the "marginal return" reduces with increased input! So, you still get more output, just that your productivity went down.

Its the work harder v/s work smarter argument ;)

I did remove it per your feedback...:-)
