Morse's Laws1. Opportunity is the mother of invention.The common expression is "Necessity in the mother of invention", but Julius Ceasar needed airplanes just as much as Eisenhower did. The Wright brothers didn't need airplanes but they had the opportunity to build one in their bicycle factory. 2. In a bureaucracy, if it doesn't cost anything it won't get done. If it doesn't get you a promotion, or a better office, or a consulting job, why bother? It wouldn't cost anything for the Ministry of Education to tell the teachers to do a lesson on birds by having the students look out the window, so they don't do it. Instead they spend millions on extra "nature" schools and buses. |
