business is not life

They say anything can happen in business. With the new trends in IT that pop up like mushrooms ubiquitously, it is, as they say, impossible to think impossible. When we started discussing how business projects could be evaluated, it seems as simple as inputting whatever necessary data you have to have, press some buttons, and then voila! Now you can easily see where the problem lies and more importantly, how to solve it. Whether you use a very, very, very small level of significance to minimize statistical error or you repackage the whole production and service, it makes you fall on your back and quite loosen up because there is an guarantee that at the end of the day, whatever program you use will improve your system somehow.
Why is there is no such thing as a project evaluation for real life scenarios? That it is feasible to get to the bottom of a mistake because there is a ready program to solve it.
Why is there no such thing as a life evaluation to always keep you on track and make you avoid irregularities? That it is determinable when to continue or pause or eventually stop. I don’t believe that life is business. Neither the other way around. Only in one can you use six sigma or TQM or other evaluation measures. In real life, you won’t know if your messing up already until everything crumbles in front of your very eyes.
