Yesterday, sitting in class a debate started about cell phones placing the iPhone against the Blackberry in a battle of the best hand held device available. Anyways, back to the point, sometimes a lie or rather an unintended exaggeration is easy to spot in another person. A perfect example, in class a smart young but obvious M.B.A. student, you know the ones who wear everything business down to the trousers. Anyways, the guy is a nice guy just a bit over the top.
In class he mentioned, "The Blackberries email is much faster, I write 300 emails a day........"
Then I lost him, 300 emails a day, is that possible? Lets do some simple math, if you write 2 emails per minute (120 every hour) than he would spend 2 hours and 30 min of nothing but 30 seconds emails!
Lets say he does 5 a minute (20 seconds a piece) that is still 1 whole hour of nothing but emails, and 20 seconds a piece...........
So instead of trying to be mister impressive sometimes it is better to just do the math and admit it, you don't email 300 times a day, because it would drive you nuts and take up the whole day. But then again, he also probably works 70 hours a week (also, not feasible.)
