Imagine two men working together to transport a
bowling ball. To move the bowling ball,
one man must hold out a plastic trash bag so the other man can place the
bowling ball inside for transport. When
working together on such a project you might imagine these two scenarios.
Scenario
#1:
One man extends the opened bag out. The other man—while grumbling about the way
the bag is being presented—drops the ball inside and watches as the ball rips
through the bottom and bounces away.
Scenario
#2:
One man extends the opened bag out. The other man gingerly reaches down inside
the bag to settle the heavy ball at the bottom of the bag so they can haul it
away.

Very wise! Love the metaphor and the stark simplicity.
