DSC_0017 I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

“Capitalism is a social system based on the principle of individual rights. Politically, it is the system of laissez-faire (freedom). Legally it is a system of objective laws (rule of law as opposed to rule of man). Economically, when such freedom is applied to the sphere of production its result is the free-market.”

Bill Gross: Economic inequality threatens capitalism READ MORE

Capitalism is an economic system in which trade, industry, and the means of production are largely or entirely privately owned and operated for profit. READ MORE

Before his nomination, Warren G. Harding declared, "America's present need is not heroics, but healing; not nostrums, but normalcy; not revolution, but restoration; not agitation, but adjustment; not surgery, but serenity; not the dramatic, but the dispassionate; not experiment, but equipoise; not submergence in internationality, but sustainment in triumphant nationality.”

ADVERTISING & MARKETING

"THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ADVERTISING AND MARKETING!!!"

Let the slideshow begin...

ad2
Slide #1: You see a gorgeous lass at a party. You go up to her and say: "I'm a fantastic guy." That's called DIRECT MARKETING.

ad4
Slide #2: You're at a party with a bunch of mates and see a gorgeous lass. One of your friends goes up to her and, pointing at you, says: "See yer man there? He's a fantastic guy." Now that's called ADVERTISING.

ad3

Slide #3: You see a gorgeous lass at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day you call and say: "Hi, I'm a fantastic guy let’s go out." That's called TELEMARKETING.

ad5
Slide #4: You're at a party and see a gorgeous lass. You get up and straighten your tie. You walk up to her and pour her a drink. You open the door for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her a lift, and then say: "Oh, by the way, I'm a fantastic gentleman." That's called PUBLIC RELATIONS.

 ad8

Slide #5: Finally, you're at a party and see a gorgeous lass. She walks up to you and says, "I hear you're a really fantastic guy." That's something called BRAND RECOGNITION.
