"Un comité est un groupe qui prend des minutes et perd des heures"
— Milton Berle
Simplified Meaning:
When a committee gathers to discuss things, they often spend a lot of time talking and taking notes, but they don't always make much progress or reach decisions. Think about a school project where five friends are supposed to plan a big event. They have many meetings, write down everything they talk about, but by the end, they have spent hours without actually planning anything concrete. This happens because everyone has different ideas, and finding an agreement can take forever. The main point is that while committees can be good for discussing ideas, they can also waste a lot of time if they aren't focused on making decisions quickly. Instead, it might be better to give one person the responsibility to make some choices and move things forward more efficiently.
