The difference between being a Professional and being a "Professionist"

According to Pareto's principle, 20% of an action is responsible for 80% of its effects. Meanwhile, 80% of the remaining actions only result in 20% of the effects. Incredible, isn't it? This is as simple as important things that have multiple applications, including today's heresy:

Perfectionism is antagonical to efficiency, not to mediocrity.

Information that will enable us to achieve an 80% response, i.e. in the right direction, only takes 20% of our investment in effort, time, and information. The remaining 80% we spend looking for more information is only going to contribute an additional 20% of value. This means that it makes no sense to try to achieve more than 100%. Professionism is an absurd of inefficiency. The problem is that many of our companies operate based on professionism instead of on professionalism.

The same principle is applicable to our lives: let us dedicate 20% of our efforts to things that will generate 80% of the results. Everything else is a waste of time and, as Kierkegaard said: "wasting time is wasting life."
