Why Pennies and Pounds?

Pennies

 Pennies are the small stuff – those little details. As the old saying goes, “don’t sweat the small stuff.” But we often do sweat the small stuff. We often sweat the pennies at the expense of the pounds. But should we not be concerned about the pennies at all? After all, if you save enough pennies, you’ll have a pound.

Pounds

 Pounds are the big stuff. Have you heard of the idiom “penny-wise but pound-sterling foolish?” That’s a good saying. It helps us remember that one big thing can be more important than a lot of little things. Remember what’s important. We need to remember to focus on those few things that give you the most results. Don’t waste your precious time picking up pennies when you can pick up a pound just a little farther down your path. Have you heard of the Pareto (80-20) Principle? It’s quite useful and illuminating.
