Three Boys Are NO Boys

One boy is a boy. Two boys are half a boy. And three boys are no boys at all. There's a similiar Chinese proverb saying about the Chinese team work. Though, I feel ashamed, and wouldn't like to admit it, I have to say it is true.

Last week, an American supervisor of mine requested Peter, Mary, and I, three Chinese of us, to do a job together- testing the quality of packing from a potential supplier. I went to Peter, and he said he was very busy. So did Mary. They simply passed the buck. I was frustrated.

Later I told about this to another Chinese friend of mine. I told her I prefered my supervisor let me do it alone, and I could do it excellently, if she gave me the authority. She agreed with me.

Where does this come from?
