Correlation vs causation

One of the biggest hurdles that science had struggled with, and same goes for business decisions or individual is correlation vs causation issues.

Imagine you're at the beach on a hot summer day. You notice that the number of people eating ice cream is very high, and at the same time, more people are swimming in the ocean. You might conclude that eating ice cream causes people to swim. However, the real cause of both is the heat—it's the hot weather that drives people to cool off with ice cream and take a dip in the water.

You’d be laughing how dumb this example is but we actually encounter this really frequent in our lives.

Like a business person doing yoga and you associate that act with that person becoming successful.
