Some time ago, I had written about a blog post about my dining out habits, or more so, about how I just eat out every meal. Lately, I’ve gotten a little better about that and started cooking some stuff at home. I got to the point where I said, “I can cook a damn hamburger seven days a week” and started doing it.
But anyway, one of the guidelines I lived by when eating out was, “Eat the expensive parts.” Get your money’s worth is what I was trying to express. When discussing job duties with the GF recently, especially when faced with overwhelming amounts of work to be done, I brought up the common phrase, “How do you eat an elephant? (One bite at a time.)” The convergence of these two bits of guidance was immediately obvious.
So, if you have an elephant to eat, where do you start? You eat the most expensive pieces first. So when consuming, make sure to get your money’s worth. When providing, make sure your efforts have the greatest impact.
