In economics, diminishing returns (also called law of diminishing returns',law of variable proportions,principle of diminishing marginal productivity, or diminishing marginal returns) is the decrease in the marginal (incremental) output of a production process as the amount of a single factor of production is incrementally increased, while the amounts of all other factors of production stay constant.
The law of diminishing returns states that in all productive processes, adding more of one factor of production, while holding all others constant ("ceteris paribus"), will at some point yield lower incremental per-unit returns. The law of diminishing returns does not imply that adding more of a factor will decrease the total production, a condition known as negative returns, though in fact this is common.
A common sort of example is adding more workers to a job, such as assembling a car on a factory floor. At some point, adding more workers causes problems such as workers getting in each other's way or frequently finding themselves waiting for access to a part. In all of these processes, producing one more unit of output per unit of time will eventually cost increasingly more, due to inputs being used less and less effectively.
They say you're leaving, at least you're gonna try They say you're leaving, well I guess god just closed his eyes To the fact that you're mine To the thought of a better way of life Now the sound that I hear Is of nothing but questions, nothing but my deepest fears Oh, here we go To the same old story, the kind that I used to know before When the last one fell out of love (with me) Together may be hurting you, but look what the end will do to me They say you think you can do better, well you're crazy if it's true You'd better wake up soon girl, cause I'm the best (the very best part of you) An ounce of perfection is worth it's weight in gold And I may not overflow, but I'll stick with you as we grow old It will kill & erase everything I have worked for And everything I had ever hoped to be
