Notes
Sometimes, investing more and more of a resource (such as money or time) ends up producing benefits at a lower and lower rate. And often, the first dollar you spend on something is far more useful than the thousandth dollar. This common phenomenon is known as diminishing returns, and it can have a major influence on how promising different opportunities can be.
