Cheating is not the american way. it is small, while we are large. it is cheap, while we are richly endowed. it is destructive, while we are creative. it is doomed to fail, while our gifts and responsibilities call us to achieve. it sabotages trust and weakens the bonds of spirit and humanity, without which we perish.

Cheating Is Not The American Way. It

Cheating is not the american way. it is small, while we are large. it is cheap, while we are richly endowed. it is destructive, while we are creative. it is doomed to fail, while our gifts and responsibilities call us to achieve. it sabotages trust and weakens the bonds of spirit and humanity, without which we perish.

I don't want euro bonds that serve to mutualize the entire debt of the countries in the euro zone. that can only work in the longer-term. i want euro bonds to be used to finance targeted investments in future-oriented growth projects. it isn't the same thing. let's call them 'project bonds' instead of euro bonds.

Clothing sizes are weird, they go: small, medium, large and then extra large, extra extra large, extra extra extra large. something happened at large, they just gave up. they were like, 'i'm not doing any more adjectives; you just keep putting extras on there.' we could do better than that: small, medium, large, whoa, easy, slow down, stop it, interesting, american.

I do not prize the word cheap. it is not a word of inspiration. it is the badge of poverty, the signal of distress. cheap merchandise means cheap men and cheap men mean a cheap country.

We are entering a hyperconnected world where every boss now has more access, cheap access to cheap labor, cheap genius, cheap robot, cheap software, and then this world averages over. there is only one answer to that, and that is to get everyone as close as possible to some form of post-secondary education, it could be vocational, it can be liberal arts, it can be science and technology.

This is the joint responsibility of everyone who was involved in the introduction of the euro without understanding the consequences. when the euro was introduced, the regulators allowed banks to buy unlimited amounts of government bonds without setting aside any equity capital. and the european central bank discounted all government bonds on equal terms. so commercial banks found it advantageous to accumulate the bonds of the weaker countries to earn a few extra basis points.

I cannot always sympathize with that demand which we hear so frequently for cheap things. things may be too cheap. they are too cheap when the man or woman who produces them upon the farm or the man or woman who produces them in the factory does not get out of them living wages with a margin for old age and for a dowry for the incidents that are to follow. i pity the man who wants a coat so cheap that the man or woman who produces the cloth or shapes it into a garment will starve in the process.

An unauthentic word, one which is unable to transform reality, results when dichotomy is imposed upon its constitutive elements. when a word is deprived of its dimension of action, reflection automatically suffers as well; and the word is changed into idle chatter, into verbalism, into an alienated and alienating “blah.” it becomes an empty word, one which cannot denounce the world, for denunciation is impossible without a commitment to transform, and there is no transformation without action.
Commitment Reality Reflection
