Humor: Always have a target

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

One of the important parts of Financial Planning is to have credible and attainable goals and targets for your plan. If you don’t have a target, how can you tell if you are accurate?

With this in mind here is an important example of how if you have a target, your aim gets much better, and thus your aim at the target of your plan is better too.

Aim and Fire

This urinal has a small fly in it, which causes users of this urinal’s “accuracy” to increase by 80% (or decrease “spills” by that amount at least).

The trick is that at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam (ok outside of Amsterdam), do not have a bathroom attendant who puts a new fly in after each use, no, this is a STICKER of a fly, and this sticker has decreased the mess and filth in the bathrooms at Schiphol.

Look Closer:

What a great idea!!

Punch Line: Remember if you don’t have a target how can you tell if you are accurate or not :-) .
