Comparing and contrasting. Something many of us do every single day. Be it while writing essays, showering, sleeping, writing this blog right now, etc. We compare and contrast the choices we have to pick from. And we wondering about choices we could have made. There so many memes about wondering in the shower about an argument, life choices, or something stupid that was said.

I am writing about this because I couldn't decide what to write for my blog and I was having a mental breakdown. I feel like it all started in 7th grade when I came. Now, I have ended up no one to talk toabout my worries and having to beg my parents to let me sleep on my problems.

The surprising thing is that I almost always get solutions to the hardest of my problems when I sleep or take a nap on it. I literally take naps during math contests. There is this on Russian math contest, TOT, where I used to just sleep for 2 hours out of the 4 (it worked).

 One of the most important characteristics of being an excellent leader is being able to "compare and contrast" effectively. Effectively also means that the leader has confidence in his decisions. It reminds of AP Bio tests and quizzes, where there are multiple answers that could be right. It is about the "comparing and contrasting" and knowledge.

A good example of this can be seen during World War II. The Germans had lower resources than their opponents. So, strategies played a large role in the war to come. During the 1930s, there heavy debate between executives and researchers of the Luftwaffe. Should pursue the development of high altitude strategic bombers (& fighter, I think) or dive bombers. Many were in favor of the dive bombers (like the Junkers Ju 87). This supported their cause in the early war when their enemies were unprepared and the Blitzkrieg was heavily due to these dive bombers. However, later, when fighting the Russians and the British, the Germans were stuck in a longer war. The dive bombers were slow and vulnerable during their dives. The Germans didn't have sufficient and adequate bombers to affect the enemies' production. Meanwhile, the German cities and factories were getting pummeled. The Germans didn't have many high altitude fighters either. Hitler, especially, was very vivid in terms of his "tide turning" weapons. 

If Germans had been a bit more practical, then maybe the would have "won". I don't mean to say that the Germans wasted resources elsewhere and were impractical, like the concentration camps, usage of slaves, and mistreatment of the citizens of their conquered states. Many of citizens of the states that were conquered from the Soviets initially saw the Nazis as liberators. They could have supplied the Germans with more resources and manpower. It would have also increased morale.
