Numbers That Do Not Matter


If you count in millions, if millions are your measure— in terms of purchasing power, thousands do not matter. If you count in thousands, hundreds do not matter. If you count in hundreds, tens do not matter. If you count in tens, units do not matter. In the scale of things, value is not in the number itself, but in the context— the scale shapes the view.
