The cost of Knowledge
I was reading through this magazine when I come upon this article which I find it quite interesting and quite true. Hence shall post it up at here for all to share and ponder about it.
A man was driving through an uninhabited place when his car broke down. He found a mechanic at a nearby village. the mechanic examined the car and hit one part of the engine with his hammer. Immediately, the car started. The mechanic charged the man $100 for having the job done.
When asked why he was charging so much just for hitting a part with a hammer, he replied, "Very simple! I only charge $1 for hitting with a hammer, but $99 for knowing where to hit!"
Moral of the Story:
The value of knowledge cannot be underestimated. For the mechanic, he was able to charge a high price for applying the knowledge he has accumulated to good use.
