A buck's worth

Cost + Aggravation = Outcome

It's my philosophy of life and business.
It's pretty simple and the equation is proportional.
High cost should lower your aggravation, low cost will raise it.  These two variables combined
equal an outcome.  If the expected outcome is high then the two variables must equal that value.
If cost is low and you don't won't to be bothered don't expect much of an outcome.

Cost can be time, money, favors, political capitol, basically anything of value.
Aggravation is hassle, attention diverted from other matters, calls to superiors, interruptions and that nagging feeling that everything might go sideways.


Stupidity is an unseen variable, a firm understanding of Calculus is needed to factor it into any equation.
