That is why I believe that art is so much more significant than either economics or philosophy. It is the direct measure of man's spiritual vision.

This dullness of vision regarding the importance of the general welfare to the individual is the measure of the failure of our schools and churches to teach the spiritual significance of genuine democracy.

To know the history of philosophy is to know that the highest thinkers of the ages, the seers of the tribes and the nations, have been optimists. The growth of philosophy is the story of man's spiritual life.

While I am interested both in economics and in philosophy, the union of my interests in the two fields far exceeds their intersection.

Sonnet: Choose the Right Field

Man ought to choose the area to work in;
The smallest size requires precision;
The largest one becomes almost dust-bin;
The ideal size engages best vision.

Too many fields distract man’s attention;
His skills and fervor are important;
The field chosen right gets concentration;
His economics is significant.

But much depends on imagination;
His ceaseless labor helps him do his task;
Yet, luck and pluck too help in creation;
The latter helps him in glory to bask.

Achievements have much struggles unseen, sure;
The time-factor variable, we endure.

Gonna see you rise higher in time

Open your eyes and let em shine !
Everybodys born to do a certain thing
And if youre dead jammy you find it.
And if youre good at it just keep doing it
Until youre fed up then do something else.
Youre here to make babies and look after the place.

To overturn orthodoxy is no easier in science than in philosophy, religion, economics, or any of the other disciplines through which we try to comprehend the world and the society in which we live.

From where I am sitting much of the country now sees the President the way I have seen him since the campaign. He is an ambitious leftist, with little understanding of economics, and with far-reaching goals to create significant and irreversible growth of government and redistribution of wealth through dramatic changes in tax, regulatory, and spending policies.

How Do You Measure Up?

If you measure yourself by ambition,
There will always be someone more ambitious than you.
If you measure yourself by money,
There is always someone wealthier than you.
If you measure yourself by power,
There is always someone more powerful than you.
If you measure yourself with material things,
There is always someone with more stuff than you.
If you measure yourself by where you are in life,
There is always someone farther down the path than you.
If you measure yourself by appearance,
There is always someone that appears than you.
If you measure yourself by God,
Then we are all the same.
We are all wonderfully and beautifully made.
God is love.
And love has no end.
So in God's heart,
You will always measure up!

My job was to teach the whole corpus of economic theory, but there were two subjects in which I was especially interested, namely, the economics of mass unemployment and international economics.

After graduating in engineering I went to the University of Kansas to get an MA in economics as a vehicle for allowing me to decide if I wanted to continue in economics.

Critic Agreed Agenda

masterpieces are critic agreed agenda
who decides subject topic to acclaim?
artists significant declared eccentric?

people seek pursue status quo attainment
comfortable lives require basic necessities
achieve in current existing state extant affairs

within global concerns covetousness resides
need greed exploits contemporary opportunity
vision artist evokes ignored spiritual harmony

History shows that where ethics and economics come in conflict, victory is always with economics. Vested interests have never been known to have willingly divested themselves unless there was sufficient force to compel them.

We would, however, perform an injustice to the bourgeois women's rights movement if we would regard it as solely motivated by economics. No, this movement also contains a more profound spiritual and moral aspect.

An Intricate Part Of Economics

If fraud was eliminated,
From playing an intricate part of economics...
The use of delusion would not exist.
Manipulated minds would not find,
Hospitals as institutions to cure their illinesses.
Bankers would not charge,
Such exorbitant interest rates...
To build and create tremendous monolithic monuments.
If fraud was eliminated,
From playing an intricate part of economics.

And...
If corruption was not celebrated,
By those self righteous selling images...
Of themselves being celebrated as reflections of GOD,
And churches were not visited to symbolize materialism...
As a direct way to pray to obtain a feeling of success,
Taxes paid to increase what's in the pockets of thieves...
Would leave all who believe the achieving of happiness,
Depends on the taking of medication to decrease and numb...
The effects of mental stress

The animals that depend on instinct have an inherent knowledge of the laws of economics and of how to apply them; Man, with his powers of reason, has reduced economics to the level of a farce which is at once funnier and more tragic than Tobacco Road.

The road to success

The Road to Success
We all want to walk on the road of success
But do you day by day measure your progress
Do you have a vision?
Do you have a mission?
You need one even if it is inspired by television

We all want to walk on the road of success
But do you day by day measure your progress
Critically look at your personal development
Grizzle over the final accomplishment
Decide on the instruments you need at the moment?

On its road, there are many paths to take
With many sacrifices along the way to make
Patience, faith and hard work, please don’t forsake
Or your dreams will pour empty into a wide lake

We all want to walk on the road of success
But do you day by day measure your progress
Is your vision greater than greatness?
You are the first one you must try to impress
Take a step at a time and do not digress

For success when achieved, I say without sarcasm
Is more gratifying than any orgasm

The Philosophy Of Kemalism

True wisdom embraces
the knowledge
that no singular mortal man

alone without the eureka
insights of God
given moments can foresee

past all the fortuitous
opportunities
arising kaleidoscopic

decisions repercussions
reverberate
through lives individual

effecting families nations
when people of power
impose their mighty will.

Therefore rejoice Türkiye
elected power is constitutionally
given to your voting people

this is a vision legacy given
by great father of a Turkish nation
blessing generations unborn

enlightenment positivism rationalism
realism pragmatism and secularism
imparted into a constitution sacrosanct.

This is the vision of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk
a philosophy of peace prosperity for all
a philosophy to inspire all future generations

a philosophy that should inspire
an entire world lacking refined wisdom
alas world rejects Turkic inspired wisdom.
