Necessary But Not Sufficient

If you think the term "Necessary But Not Sufficient" can apply only in economics then you are wrong. Here is a list where you can find the application of "Necessary But Not Sufficient" term:

1. A Lost of AS Rome to Manchester United 8-3 in Aggregates.

A 2-1 win by AS Rome in their home match in first leg of Champions League quarterfinal phase between AS Rome and MU is necessary but not sufficient to proceed to semifinal. AS Rome need to win its second leg in order to secure its way to semifinal. A 7-1 defeat to MU in the second leg proved that a win in first leg is not sufficient enough for AS Rome to go through the semifinals in Champions League this season.

2. Final Year Project (read: Thesis)

Being an exchange student to a university with an outstanding study atmosphere does not guarantee you to be a successful thesis writer and hence graduate on time. It needs much more than countless books, 24-hours open library and genius brain to graduate on time. It does needs others things such as a persistence, a great amount of efforts, a willingness to sacrifice your time and most importantly, a commitment.

3. Relationship

Ahaa..The most interesting topic, namely relationship. Yes, i mean relationship with your opposite sex. Most of you will think that it needs love only to make your relationship goes well, but i said that is an ultimate mistake a human could make. Love is necessary but not sufficient, you need need more than just a love to maintain your relationship and you definitely need more than just love to push your relationship into the next step. It does need a tactic, patience, friendship, trust, acceptance, experience and many other things that will turn your happy day into gloomy nights. Well i guess i still on my way on learning that. At least i know it already.
