Episode 156: What Numbers Matter the Most?

• Scenario 1: Thurman and Marv are wrestlers trying to improve their chances of winning by wrestling in lower weight classes. Since weight is not a number that truly matters should they focus on the pounds they are trying to shed or just disappoint their coach and ignore their weight?

• Scenario 2: Hattie is a very accomplished person with a few degrees in various fields and was once a candidate for a Nobel Science Prize. She doesn’t feel she is enough though because her bank account does not match some of her less accomplished colleagues. Is she focusing on the right numbers?

• Scenario 3: Artem thinks every number means something. When at a restaurant he leaves if there are 13 items on the menu. It could even be a multiple of 13 and Artem will check out. Is Artem focusing on the right numbers?
