The difference between involvement and commitment is like ha

Summary

This quote refers to the distinction between involvement and commitment using a metaphor of ham and eggs. It suggests that while both the chicken and pig contribute to the creation of a meal, their level of commitment differs. The chicken is merely involved, as it provides the eggs, whereas the pig is committed since it is sacrificed for the ham. In essence, the quote highlights that involvement implies a lesser level of dedication compared to true commitment, which requires a more profound sacrifice or wholehearted effort.
