knowledge is a biggest asset you can accumulate
Answers
Explanation:
Do you know what your greatest asset is? Are you pouring your energy into worrying over what you could lose? Well there is one thing you can be sure that you will never part with – your knowledge.
We all have a long list of things we can lose that are extremely important to us:
Money
Home
Love
Family
Our business or job
These things are all integral to our lives and take up a great deal of our energy due to worry of losing it all. With all these things that you could lose your grip on, take solace in the fact that your knowledge can never be stolen from you. Once we learn something, no one can strip that from you. It is an asset that follows you everywhere you go and you can use it to re-build your list above if you ever needed.
There is a story I love about an old mechanic who is called to a ship because none of the technicians could mend the problem with the engine that would only make clunking and sputtering noises. Standing next to the machine, he listened for a few minutes, pulled out a little hammer and made two taps. Before their eyes, the machine clunking was transformed into a steady whir, humming along a perfect, smooth tune.
The old mechanic then presented an invoice for $10,000. The owner was irritated by this and argued that all the mechanic had done was make two tiny taps with his hammer.
“True,” said the mechanic. “The taps were only $1.00 each. The knowledge to know where to tap costs $9,998.00.”
The owner sighed and relented. Why? Because he knew exactly what he was paying for – the mechanic’s knowledge.
