THE SECRET TO WEALTH IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL BUSINESS...
====================================================
After reviewing my 8th grade Algebra textbook and applying some
simple analytic thought to some trite phrases I've reached a
new understanding concerning the secret to achieving wealth and
success in the environmental business...!!!
HERE IT GOES...
- Regulatory Knowledge is Power
- Time is Money,
- and as every engineer knows, Power is Work divided by Time.
So, establishing algebraic equations for these time worn bits
of wisdom, we get:
(1) K = P
(2) T = M
(3) P = W/T
Now, with a few simple substitutions:
Replace W/T in for P in equation (1), which yields equation #4:
(4) K = W/T
Put M in for T into equation (4), which yields:
(5) K = W/M
Now we've got something!! Expanding back into English, we get:
- Environmental Regulatory Knowledge equals Work divided by
Money!!
What this MEANS is simply:
1. The More environmental regulations you know, the More Work
You Do, and
2. The More environmental regulations You Know, the Less Money
You Make.
Solving for Money, we get:
M = W/K (6)
Money equals Work divided by Environmental Regulatory
Knowledge.
From equation (6) we see that Money approaches infinity as
Knowledge approaches 0, regardless of the Work done!!
What THIS MEANS is simply:
The More you Make, the Less you Know!!!
Solving for Work, we get
(7) W = M, or Work equals Money times Knowledge...
From equation (7) we see that Work approaches 0 as Knowledge
approaches 0.
What THIS MEANS is:
Owners of environmental firms do little or no work and in the
process become rich at the expense of their employees!!
Working out the socioeconomic implications of this breakthrough
in the relationships between excessive regulatory knowledge and
the attendant lack of financial wealth is left as an exercise
for the reader...Good luck...
