BECAUSE….

HE TREATS

EVERYONE THE

SAME

AND MY FARMER,

HE SENDS

PEOPLE TO

SCHOOL

SO

TO LEARN THE THINGS…

NOBODY CARES OF…

LIKE

PYTHAGORE : � � �

THINGS

HOW MANY TIMES DID YOU

USE THIS AFTER

GRADUATION ?

So MY FUTURE BOSS SHOULD KNOW….

ZERO !

THINGS

HOW MANY TIMES DID YOU

USE :

John has 5 apples and gives 1

to Mary and splits the rest

with his brother…

MY FUTURE BOSS SHOULD KNOW….

How many JOHN’S DID

YOU MEET THAT HAD 5

APPLES ?

DO YOU REMEMBER….

A train goes from A to B with

a speed of x Miles/h while at

the same time, a truck leaves

B to go to A at a speed of y

Miles/h.

WHILE IN REAL LIFE…

You know the truck will getstuck in a traffic jam and the trains will have its regulardelay…

SO…

THEY LEARN

YOU TO BE

AVERAGE

IN THE CLASSROOM

• IT IS THE TEACHER THAT SPEAKS

–You just have to listen

• YOU HAVE TO DO WHAT THE TEACHER

SAYS

–No creativity, no self-initiative…

THEN YOUR COUNTRY …

SENDS YOU TO

MILITARY

SERVICE

WHERE

YOU ARE

AGAIN

TREATED AS

CATTLE

FOR THE FIRST TIME …. YOU

HAVE TO LEARN FROM

TEACHERS THAT ARE EVEN

MORE STUPID THAN YOU

ARE !

AND YOU LEARN…

HOW MUCH YOU ARE WORTH:

Exactly your daily salary…

Roughly… 75 € / 60 $

WHERE

THEN YOU

ENTER THE

JOB MARKET…

IF YOU WERE THE BEST

STUDENT IN COLLEGE…

YOU NOW FILL THE LINE

OF 1000 UNEMPLOYED

OVERSKILLED BEEFS …

IF YOU WERE A BAD

STUDENT… IN A CLASS …

YOU FIND YOURSELF ON A

LOWSY MARKET THAT

DOESN’T WANT LOWSY

CATTLE …

SO…

YOU BETTER

BE AVERAGE

TO GET A JOB

BEING PART OF THE

CATTLE IS NICE

THEN…

YOU GET

YOUR FIRST

JOB …

My farmer

BUT BECAUSE YOU ARE

YOUNG… THEY DON’T GIVE

YOU THE JOB YOU WANTED…

THEY SAY YOU MISS

EXPERIENCE.

IF YOU WANT TO STAY

LISTEN TO THE BOSS

DON’T SPEAK

DON’T TRY TO BE CREATIVE

HE’S YOUR TEACHER

AT THE AGE OF 30…

YOU GET

MARIED…

(LIKE ALL OTHERS)

BEING PART OF THE

CATTLE IS NICE

AT THE AGE OF 35…

YOU GET YOUR

PROMOTION…

(OR NOT)

AND YOU ARE THE MANAGER…

BECAUSE YOU CAN MANAGE

CATTLE…

NOT BECAUSE YOU ARE

CREATIVE OR GOOD…

AND YOU LEARN…

YOU STILL DO A JOB THAT IS

UNSUITABLE FOR YOUR

QUALITIES AND CAPACITIES…

JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE

THE OLDEST BEEF NOW…

ABLE TO MONITOR CATTLE

AT THE AGE OF 40

YOU GOT

BYPASSED

SO MY FUTURE BOSS HAS TO…

YOU ARE CONSIDERED AS

BEING TO OLD

YOU GIVE BAD MILK…

????

I DIDN’T EVEN

KNEW I WAS

GIVING MILK !

AT THE AGE OF 45

YOU HAVE TO

TAKE YOUR

RETREAT

AT THE AGE OF 65

WHY ?

At the age of 50

YOU ARE OUT…

WHY ? I LOVED

BEING CATTLE… SO

WHY CAN’T I STAY ?

WHILE

THEY SAY YOU

YOU ARE NOT

CREATIVE…

WOW…

THEY THOUGHT ME MY WHOLE LIVE TO BE

AVERAGE

WOW…

TO DO LIKE THE OTHERS AND BE PART OF THE

CATTLE

WHILE

AND NOW I AM

DEAD…
