Earth Girl Arjuna

The following are the quotes from the Anime "Earth Girl Arjuna" episode 6. These I found interesting and would really like others to read. The following is a conversation between a teacher and his student (More like a question-answer session):

Q: Do you know exactly why factories are set up to function with assembly lines, tell me why?
A: Instead of having one person make a whole product by himself and learning everything, a company can be more efficient if they have each person specialize in only one area of production.

Q: Why is it necessary to become more efficient?
A: To try and make as many things as possible in the shortest amount of time.

Q: Why?

There was another quote which was mentioned in the anime which sounded really interesting. This was quoted by a father in response to his daughter's question, whether he was content with his life after having divorced the girl's mother. His answer was:
I realized too late that making life easy and making life happy are two different things.
