Derivatives in Real Life

We derive inspiration from those around us.

We derive our aspirations from what is around us.

We derive pleasure from our surroundings.

We are the derivatives of our familiy's hopes and fears. (so, Mike and the Mechanics tell me in the Living Years!)

hehe, I was going to say the other way round.. that derivatives in real life are so much more difficult than in math..:)

I like the idea but I wouldn't quite agree with the last line. At least...some of us attempt to be more than that.

Mathematical derivatives.
Then came financial derivates.
And now, you show me derivatives in real life.
This word is out to get me.
Sigh :(

@ideasmith: of course! Like I said I stole that last line from the song of Mike and Mechanics, cause I thought it was partly true.

@casa: :)
