quantity or quality?

there will always a question arise whenever we try to decide on any matter especially when it affects our life. i always wonder if quality is better than concerning about the quantity?it makes me confuse each times,when people really emphasize on quality but the question always begin or ended with how many, how much? does they really care about the quality or they are more concern about the numbers?for me, i believe that quality improve the quantity but perhaps, sometimes it does not matter about the quantity; as many of it may derived more quality but maybe i am wrong...even on a simple thing as seeking for jobs; it does not really matter if you have a 1st class degree in very complicated programme because if you don't have any experiences with the tasks, the chances for you to be accepted maybe the same as the person who have lower class degree in the same programme but with 2-3 years of experiences.even to buy good, imported tomatoes, if the price are slightly higher than the local tomatoes ,we'll mostly choose the cheaper price for a bargain quantity...the taste and look may not differ much anyway; that's what always on our mind, isn't it?therefore to say quality improved life, isn't it quantity of years that we spend that helps our life to be improved?oh, just to get this off my mind..i really wonder because my life might have it owns standard but the amount of period and people that surrounded me whilst i spending on it, that really teach me the meaning of being alive. so i just feel that, to push yourself too hard in order to achieve certain level may not occurs only if you think of the quantity that you should reach..it is a continuous effort knowing that there is no numbers could match the quality...
