Quality vs. Quantity

There is a story about a teacher who assigned two groups of students a task to produce clay pots. The first group was judged based on quantity, and the second group on quality.

The first group would be graded according to the total number of pots they created, while the second group was instructed to focus solely on making one high-quality pot.

At the end of the class, the quantity-focused group had produced many pots and, through trial and error, improved their technique, ultimately crafting some truly great pieces.

In contrast, the group focused on quality ended up with nothing but untouched clay, as they had become fixated on creating the perfect pot and never completed it.
