My First Quote: Amits First Law of Loyalty.

Ok. Great people say great words. I am not claiming to be in the likes of 'great' people but certainly while discussing few 'hot' subjects with my colleauges, I get these 'great' quotes. Let me be frank. This is perfectly self thought quote, without being derived from either the murphy's laws or the other 'ad lines'

It started with the furious discussion of the 'loyalty' towards ones company. Now, attrition in Software companies is something which previously used to give headaches to HR managers but now, it had started giving the 'nightmares'. Scores of people claim to 'restructure' the organization in effect to bring 'this number'down. I also believe that proffs in MBA colleges might also used to teach this 'loyalty' towards the company and 'How to retain your best employees', 'Loyalty programs'. However, during the discussion, one idea struck me. What the fuss about loyalty? What happened next, is in my first quote [many more to come ;) ]

"Loyalty is in inverse proportion to the number of oppurtunities"

Now generalize this to any damn thing. Be it personal life or proffesional. This rule holds. I thought of many cases and this law, like the murphy's holds true in most, if not all situations.
You dont agree. ok. Try yourself. Think of any case, where you consider 'the given person is extra loyal than required'. Now see, how many 'similar' opputunities exists in that domain/circumstancec. Able to count on your fingers...If not, he is more of an exception rather than a rule. ;)
