“Our own economy tells us to take as much as we can get, right? Our own economy says, you're going to be the most successful graduate if you go into the business world and take as much you can get. That's not how nature works. Nature has a much simpler economy. Everything in nature takes what it needs. That's it. You don't see an oak tree gathering up all the resources. An oak tree takes what it needs to be the authentic oak tree it is.” IfsWorldNeedsEconomySuccessfulTreeResourcesSimplicityGraduatesGatheringOaksBusiness WorldOak Tree Author:Tom Shadyac

“Nature is very clear on this. In fact, there's one fundamental law that all of nature obeys that mankind breaks everyday. Now this is a law that's evolved over billions of years and the law is this: nothing in nature takes more than it needs. A redwood tree doesn't take all of the soil's nutrients, just what it needs to grow. A lion doesn't kill every gazelle, just one. We have a term for something in the body when it takes more than its share. We call it cancer.” NeedsYearsFactsBodyLawGrowsTermBreakClearTreeShareMankindFundamentalsEverydayCancerBillionsSoilJust OneLionsNutrientsRedwoodsGazelles Author:Tom Shadyac
