A sudden blackout in class
'No panic' said the Prof
'No panic' said the Prof
'raise your hands everyone!'
So everyone did and the lights came on
'see! 'the Prof said, 'many hands make light work!
So it did!
Cooperation and cooperating
adding on and sharing
has never failed in time
Somewhat akin to compounding
it worked itself with time
A perfect invention
Call it what may
It may be interest
or usury in some quarters
but in commerce it works perfectly
Ref. “Many hands make light work.” Adagia
Lillian at d'Verse, a penny for your thoughts
I think we all know that cooperation beats competition... still it seems that there are those who refuse to accept that it's not all about winning for themselves.
