Quotes About Abundance

Ma la merce abbondante sta a dire la rottura assoluta di uno sviluppo organico dei bisogni sociali. La sua accumulazione meccanica libera un artificiale illimitato, di fronte al quale il DESIDERIO VIVENTE resta disarmato.
~ Guy Debord
The worker does not produce himself; he produces an independent power. The success of this production, its abundance, returns to the producer as an abundance of dispossession. All the time and space of his world become foreign to him with the accumulation of his alienated products. The spectacle is the map of this new world, a map which exactly covers its territory. The very powers which escaped us show themselves to us in all their force.
~ Guy Debord
are two kinds of people: eaters and bakers. Eaters think the world is a zero-sum game: what you eat, someone else cannot eat, so they eat as much as they can. Bakers think that the world is not a zero-sum game—they can just bake more and bigger pies. Everyone can eat more. People trust bakers and not eaters.
~ Guy Kawasaki
There are two kinds of people and organizations in the world: eaters and bakers. Eaters want a bigger slice of an existing pie; bakers want to make a bigger pie. Eaters think that if they win, you lose, and if you win, they lose. Bakers think that everyone can win with a bigger pie.
~ Guy Kawasaki

Los que dan de comer creen que con un pastel más grande todo el mundo podría salir ganando.
