`    Promoting a Multi-Disciplinary Approach
                               OR
  Let This Be the First Step Toward World Peace

After applying some simple algebra to some trite phrases and clich�s a
new understanding can be reached about secrets to wealth and success.

Here it goes:

        Knowledge is Power
        Time is Money and,
        (as every Engineer knows)
        Power is Work over Time.

So, substituting algebraic equations for these time-worn
bits of wisdom, we get:

        K = P (1)
        T = M (2)
        P = W/T (3)

Now, do a few simple substitutions:

        Put W/T in for P in equation (1), which yields:
        K = W/T (4)

        Put M in for T into equation (4), which yields:
        K = W/M (5)

Now we've got something useful.  Expanding back
into English, we observe that:
        Knowledge equals Work over Money.

This MEANS:
        1. The More You Know, the More Work You Do, and
        2. The More You Know, the Less Money You Make.

Solving for Money, we get:
        M = W/K (6)
        Money equals Work over Knowledge.

>From equation (6) we see that Money approaches infinity
as knowledge approaches 0, regardless of the Work done.

This MEANS:
        The More You Make, the Less You Know.

Solving for Work, we get:
        W = M K (7)
        Work equals Money time Knowledge

>From equation (7) we see that Work approaches 0
as Knowledge approaches 0.

This MEANS:
         The stupid rich do little or no work.

Working out the socioeconomic implications of this breakthrough
is left as an exercise for other disciplines.  I hope this helps clear
the air of misunderstanding and fosters a new period of
multiple-disciplinary cooperation toward mankind's development.
And so, let this be the first step toward world peace.
