When we’re asked to do worthless or unprofitable things, it doesn’t take much wisdom to say no, does it? Especially not when you do one of those things and think, “Okay, that was a waste…I’m never doing that again.” The real problem is all the good things we’re asked to do.

Imaginez: vous faites partie d'une équipe de la NASA se préparant à une mission de cinq ans sur Mars. Après une période de formation intensive, la date de lancement de la fusée tombe enfin. Tandis que la fusée décolle, l’un de vos collègues astronautes vous demande: «Que sais-tu de Mars?» Haussant les épaules, vous répondez: «Rien. Nous n'en avons jamais parlé. Je suppose que nous le découvrirons sur place.» Cette situation est impensable, n'est-ce pas?
