“Synergy—the bonus that is achieved when things work together harmoniously.”
– R. Buckminster Fuller
It seems obvious.
1+1 = 2
But acts of creation are not intuitively mathematical.
Sometimes, 1+1 = 3.
Sometimes it equals more than 3.
When two people make a child. When a team writes a book that reaches millions. When someone creates relentlessly for years and amasses a huge following.
The results you get can be exponentially greater than your input — through enhancing the quality of your inputs, the rate at which you produce, and the amount of human ingenuity involved.
That’s the power of synergy.
