The Sigmoid Curve

What dya reckon ?

Apparently according to proponents of the theory, it can be applied to all areas of human life (eg.career changes,emigration,spiritual etc), and allows you to re-generate upward growth before you reach downward decline. The hardest part appears to be the ability to have the foresight to quit while the going is good, and move on and do something else that will start another upward growth curve.

Here's an extract:

"The sigmoid curve is the S-shaped curve that has intrigued people throughout history. The curve sums up the story and time line of life itself; we start slowly, we experiment and falter, we then grow rapidly, then wax, and wane. It is the product life cycle, it is the biological life cycle. It describes the rise and fall of empires, dynasties, companies, and individuals. It also describes the course of love and relationships."

And here's a pic...

I can only hope that I am not at the very end of this curve. :)

that's an problematic overlapping curve :) The curve doesn't say anything we don't know off.
