It’s common knowledge, we’re all happy when the targets are breaking, and rightfully so.

But there is 1 answer that works in most cases. It's called commitment versus involvement. Let's start with the difference between the two. The old adage goes like this. A chicken and a pig were walking down the street and the pig asked, what would you like for breakfast? The chicken replied, ham and eggs.
