"Is the thought too bizarre,
That a help factory is what you are?"
For a while, I've studied optimization...
and... I've found optimization to be a very tricky
thing.
The "practice" of optimization means you are wasting
time... and therefore, you've done just the opposite.
Some people/organizations spend so much time trying to
optimize that it overtakes their original mission.
Though optimization is usually something applied to
traditional businesses, I often look at optimization
and efficiency of everything.
Soooo... that being said... I attempt to optimize
my optimization. in particular, I attempt to study
the optimization of helping others.
The first thought might be to help people all the
time... 24/7/365
But, you can see... you would quickly become less
efficient if you did not sleep... eat... or take
a bathroom break. How could I help others under
these conditions?
I would think that almost all people would agree that
"any effort to help is good." And, any individual
that tries to help others should be commended. However,
I still wonder if we shouldn't try to do "all we
can do?"
Here are some questions I've been looking at
(and, would appreciate your feedback):
How does one optimize helping others?
Is helping one person as good as helping two?
How much time should I waste/spend on optimization?
How can I minimize deprivation, starvation, strangulation?
How can I maximize realization, satisfaction, congratulation?
Does quantity matter?
Or, is it only the quality of one that needs "done" to have won?
