Formula for Success

/***********Secret Formula for Success ***********/ Don’t study. Stay dumb.*

*Proof: Eq 1: Knowledge = Power (Sir Francis Bacon)

Eq 2: Power = Work output / Time (Physics)

Eq 3: Time = Gold (Business Majors)

Now… 1.] Substitute Eq. 3 to Eq. 2: Power = Work output / Gold (eq. 4 ) 2.] Substitute Eq. 4 to Eq. 1 and multiply both sides of the equation with (Gold/Knowledge) will give: Gold = (Work output/Knowledge)

SO…as Knowledge approaches zero, Gold approaches infinity!
