You Can’t Chase Two Hares

istock_hares1There is a Japanese saying that translates, ‘you can’t chase two hares’. If a top-class hunting dog chases after a hare it has a 10% chance of catching it. But if the dog hedges its bets and tries to chase two at once, its success rate is reduced to nil. The dog quickly learns that 10% is the way to go!

How many hares are you currently chasing?
