Entropy and Life


Entropy - I would start by asking people if they had heard of the word.
Perhaps some had, but to define it you can go back to the world of science.
Entropy can be described as the fact that all matter tends to disorder in the absence of constructive energy.

I like this idea. So how could this apply elsewhere in the world?

In the world of business - unless some constructive energy is added, disorder will remain.

In the real world - an ice-cube won't stay an ice-cube, it will become disordered and turn to water unless some constructive energy, in this case, in the form of cold and freezing is added.

I just enjoy the picture this word creates. Watch for good words, you can build big ideas around them.
