I came across an interesting article about writing “affirmations” to help you achieve by Scott Adams.
You know, the guy who writes the Dilbert comic strip:
“But some of my goals involved neither hard work nor skill of any kind. I succeeded with those too, against all odds.”
— Scott Adams
It reminds me a lot of the “Autosuggestion” concept in this “Think and Grow Rich” audio by Napoleon Hill I’ve been listening to recently.
I’m going to do it, or something close to it.

Hey, I think the tech people deserve to be paid well.
But as Greek programmer Nick Georgakis reminds me…
Dilbert’s “Salary Theorem” states that “Engineers and scientists can never earn as much as business executives, sales people, accountants and especially liberal arts majors.”
This theorem can now be supported by a mathematical equation based on the following two well known postulates:
Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power. Postulate 2: Time is Money.
As every engineer knows:
Power = Work / TimeSince Knowledge = Power, then:
Knowledge = Work / TimeAnd since Time = Money, then:
Knowledge = Work / MoneySolving for Money, we get:
Money = Work / Knowledge
Therefore, as knowledge approaches zero, money approaches infinity, regardless of the amount of work done.
