This is happening in England. Factories build half classrooms. Those Lego are shipped to the site and assembled into a new school. “It enabled us to be better and faster and indeed deliver higher quality,” said Mike Green, the government official in charge of the program. It’s also a lot cheaper. “We have already knocked a third off the per square meter cost of building schools,” he told me, and he is convinced that there are more savings to be had.[10] My data confirm he is right.
How Big Things Get Done

Genuine friends are the sort of people you would like to spend time with if you had the chance, and would be willing to make the effort to do so. You know their names – not just their first names, but their surnames as well.
The people you spend time with will also have a big effect on your
morale. You'll find there are some who increase your energy and
others who decrease it, and the effect someone has is not always
what you'd expect. Seek out the people who increase your energy and
avoid those who decrease it. Though of course if there's someone
you need to take care of, that takes precedence.
