No, this will not be a blog about religious philosophies… although, if I did decide to open the “tongues” can of worms, I do have some opinions…
No, I am speaking of the language of Economics.
I am working on my MBA. Why? I haven’t a clue… Anyway I am taking a class called Managerial Economics and Globalization, where we are being taught how to forecast local and global business trends and how they will perform in the future. (Apparently, having the crystal ball to see into the future is an important concept in the business world. I just want to know what the weather will be like tomorrow, so I’ll know if I need a sweater.)
So, in Economics, we use the tongue of Economics, which is a cross between Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, and a little bit of First grade alphabet mixed in for good measure.
I’m a very verbal person. I have a degree in Business Management; with honors, might I add, so I can speak to you about business trends and understand the economic concepts; but our PhD, attorney, economy masochist professor, wants me to tell him what I know using the Economics tongue. That’s where the struggle begins. I can communicate with everyone but him; He wants information in only one way, and I just don’t speak that language.
Ok. So here it is… I (M-G)/D2=A/C2050
Translation: I must go now and divide my time in order to complete Assignment #2 to make an A in the course that is costing $2050 to complete.
Yeah. Good Luck with that, Lisa
