The Value of Work

Someone sent me this awhile back and I saved it because I thought it was one of those things that are funny but have a hidden serious side. I would like to share it with you.


Here is a rigours mathemtatical proof of the value of work...

Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.
Postulate 2: Time is Money.

As every engineer knows,

Power = Work/Time

Since Knowledge = Power and Time = Money, we have

Knowledge = Work/Money

Solving for Money, we get:

Money = Work/Knowledge

Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity regardless of the Work done, proving that some people are too smart for their own good.
