It doesn’t matter how many resources you have. If you don’t know how to use them, it will never be enough

Great article (in italian), written by Guido Guerzoni (read the article ) with a funny story:

“come le api operaie, queste imprese si fanno un culo a paiolo, vivono una stagione e muoiono di fatica: per produrre un chilogrammo di miele le api devono raccogliere circa 3 chilogrammi di nettare, effettuando circa 60.000 voli, in ognuno dei quali devono suggere circa 100 fiori, coprendo in media 2,5 chilometri a 24 chilometri orari. Pertanto, per produrre un chilogrammo di miele devono sucarsi 6.000.000 di fiori e percorrere 150.000 chilometri, pari a 3,75 giri del mondo. ”

Amazing, but a true story 😐
