I had a conversation with a man today about Egypt.  He was a troubleshooter for a multinational food company.  He had gone to Egypt because the company was having trouble getting a new pita bread factory opened.  There were problems with infrastructure and equipment and many other little things. 
While he was there, the superintendant of the factory said he wanted to show him something.  They drove just a couple of blocks and stopped on a street corner.  There a man with a huge bowl of dough was rolling out pita bread.  The two men weighed a few pieces of dough, and saw that the pieces were completely uniform.  The superintendant said, "This man works 18 hours without stopping, then rests for three days, then does it all again." 
They went back to the factory and got it running.
The troubleshooter said he was there just long enough to get the factory running, then went home. "It will break down after I am half an hour out of the country but I finally got it running".
