“The great challenge to management today is to make productive the tremendous new resource, the knowledge worker.

“But we have not used our waters well. Our major rivers are defiled by noxious debris. Pollutants from cities and industries kill the fish in our streams. Many waterways are covered with oil slicks and contain growths of algae that destroy productive life and make the water unfit for recreation. "Polluted Water-No Swimming" has become a familiar sign on too many beaches and rivers. A lake that has served many generations of men now can be destroyed by man in less than one generation.” MenWellsUsedGrowthWaterCitiesGenerationsIndustryMajorsRiversEnvironmentalFishesOilFamiliarDestroyedBeachStreamsProductiveLakesCoveredSwimmingRecreationSlickDebrisAlgaeProductive Life Author:Lyndon B.

“Virtually throughout its history, and certainly in the 20th century, California has been known as the place to go for dynamism and growth. It did not become the richest, most populous, and most productive state solely because of its weather and natural resources. So it takes a lot to turn California around from growth to contraction, from people moving into the state to a net exodus from the state, from business moving into California to businesses leaving California. It takes some doing. And the Left has done it.” PeopleHas BeensStatesDoneMovingTurnsLeftGrowthNaturalKnownCenturyResourcesLeavingWeatherCaliforniaProductive20th CenturyNatural ResourcesPlaces To GoContractionsDynamismExodus Author:Dennis Prager
“Today's national income statistics make it appear that Goldman Sachs is productive. As if Donald Trump plays a productive role. The aim is to make it appear that people who take money from the rest of the economy without working are productive, despite not really providing any service that actually contributes to GDP and economic growth.” PeopleGrowthEconomyEconomicAimProductiveEconomic Growth Author:Michael Hudson
“Many people are unhappy because there was some point in their past where there was some glory day, and as they get older they're not creating more glory days. They reflect on a time that they will never reach again, and it brings some level of dissatisfaction into their lives. I have circumvented that by simply making incumbent upon myself to always be productive in ways that are consistent with my physical body, my mental state of knowledge, but more important, my presumed growth in wisdom that would come with age.” PeopleImportantAgePastGrowthGloryUnhappyConsistentProductiveDissatisfaction Author:Neil deGrasse Tyson
“We need to create jobs for 300,000 youth graduating from high school in the next three years. We need to produce growth so we can have an economic system that can turn our natural wealth into a productive system. We need services, because poverty reduction cannot take place without effective citizenship.” SchoolGrowthNaturalWealthPovertyEconomicYouthHigh SchoolProductiveGraduatesCitizenship Author:Ashraf Ghani
