The 80/20 Rule
We just did a make over in Music Master .
Ahhhh , finally ..something more refreshing 
I told y2 about our make over on Sunday . She responded by asking me “What if some of your customers do not like the new look ? What if they prefer something familiar “
and me , I am the guy who has 1001 excuses , i cook up some crap and said “Well , you know the 80-20 rule ? Sometimes we focus too much on the 20 , we forget about the 80 who like the new refreshing look”
As i think about it , i thought to myself …what kinda crap did i made up ? applying 80/20 rule in this situation ? LOL .
80/20 Rule , What It Means (about.com)
The 80/20 Rule means that in anything a few (20 percent) are vital and many(80 percent) are trivial. In Pareto’s case it meant 20 percent of the people owned 80 percent of the wealth. In Juran’s initial work he identified 20 percent of the defects causing 80 percent of the problems. Project Managers know that 20 percent of the work (the first 10 percent and the last 10 percent) consume 80 percent of your time and resources. You can apply the 80/20 Rule to almost anything, from the science of management to the physical world.
You know 20 percent of your stock takes up 80 percent of your warehouse space and that 80 percent of your stock comes from 20 percent of your suppliers. Also 80 percent of your sales will come from 20 percent of your sales staff. 20 percent of your staff will cause 80 percent of your problems, but another 20 percent of your staff will provide 80 percent of your production. It works both ways.
Okay , that was a long time ago . Today , everybody applies the 80/20 rule in every situation .
Here are some examples .
1) Boyfriend Cheats on Girlfriend , His girlfriend was 80% of what he needed . But she lacks that 20% of what he wanted . He found another Girl that has that 20% to fullfill his desires . But soon he realized that 20% is not what he needed .
2) A man , had a problem with his religion because it couldn’t answer 20% of his questions. He went for another believe that answers that 20% . Soon , he realized his new believe were build solely based on that 20% , and it lacks the other 80% , the foundation isn’t as strong as his previous religion.
3) A Shepherd who owns 10 sheeps . Went searching up and down for the 2 missing sheeps . Who is going to feed the other 8 sheeps ?
4) 20% of the guitarist in the world are Real Shredders , the other 80% are …
5) I like this one , the 80/20 Rule, should serve as a daily reminder to focus 80 percent of your time and energy on the 20 percent of you work that is really important. Don’t just “work smart”, work smart on the right things.
What is the 80/20 rule really saying ?
Life isn’t fair . The world isn’t fair . Swallow it , yes it is hard to swallow .
Don’t live today , as if “someday , my time will come ” …
If the world is fair , we already have the 50/50 rule .
50% people on the earth owns 50% of the wealth.
50% effort gives you 50% results .
On a scale of 1 to 10 , a 5/10 chick would go for a 5/10 guy .
I see alot of 8/10 Hot Chick going for 2/10 fat guys…
So , the question is . Are you in the 20 , having the 80 . Or Are you the 80 , Sharing the 20 ?
If you are in the 80 , what are you going do about it ? What can you DO about it ?
If you are in the 20 , how will you treat the 80 ?
