In 1906 Vilfredo Pareto made an observation that 20% of the population owned 80% of the land in Italy. He also noticed that 20% of the pea pods in his garden were responsible for the 80% of peas. This discovery has evolved further with time and is now practiced in various ways. Some fun use cases:

  1. In any healthy relationship you will get 80 percent of what you are looking for as a person cannot be an all rounder for you. In the movie why did I get married Malik Yoba says you get 80% from your women in a marriage and later another woman comes along who gives you the missing 20, you then decide to leave the 80 thinking you are getting something better but in reality you are only getting 20.
