One day I and my cousin visited a restaurant and so many cooks came to take our order.We told them to make us a broth with some slizes of bread we asked for just one and they all sped off to the kitchen. WE were worried that they might make a not so good broth and waited anxiously for our food,
finaly the waiter arrived with our broth as we took a scoop of it we felt so disgusted as it tasted so bad
i asked the waitter how many cooks cooked the broth 5 cooks he said then i remembered a proverb saying too many cooks spoil the broth.
It simply mean that if several people are to discuss, then we might have an argument about it that is not for the better.
It is often better to have one boss than several.
I am sure one can understand this when one is working at certain places.
first boss tells you to sweep the flor.
then comes next one and tells you to stop what you are doing and start sorting some bolts instead.
then comes boss no 3 and tells you that this can wait, you have to do a delivery right now.
on your way out for the delivery, the fourth boss tells you to drop whatever you are doing because he need your help right away for something else.
then following this fourth boss you meet the first boss and he asks you Why the hellthe floor isn't swept yet.
It is simply a great cause for problems when many people are to decide and there is no top boss to organize things properly.
Regards.
