THE SQUEAKY WHEEL

There is a familiar term which says: ‘The Squeaky Wheel gets the Grease.’ It means a person or thing that makes a fuss, complains loudly, or demands attention to get what they want or need. This can often be an annoying circumstance that demands attention.

Seth Godin, entrepreneur and author wrote:
“One strategy is to spend time finding the one wheel and address it. The better approach is to realize that if there’s one wheel that’s squealing, it’s likely that all the wheels need lubrication.”

“There was a judge in a certain city,” he said, “who neither feared God nor cared about people. A widow of that city came to him repeatedly, saying, ‘Give me justice in this dispute with my enemy.’ The judge ignored her for a while, but finally he said to himself, ‘I don’t fear God or care about people, but this woman is driving me crazy. I’m going to see that she gets justice, because she is wearing me out with her constant requests!’” Jesus
