We are a podcast about money, but even we believe there is

something more valuable than money, and that thing is

knowledge. Knowledge is power: why knowledge is more
valuable than money.
The most valuable thing in the world is knowledge. Everything else in our
lives, money, health, things, love, they can all come and go. They can all
be taken away from us. The one thing that no one can ever take from you
once you have acquired it is knowledge.

“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.”

Even if everything else was taken from you, like your

possessions, your social status, or your health-– you would still
have all the information you’ve learned that you could manage
to remember.

Actually, you’d probably end up with more knowledge than you

started with if you endured a worst-case scenario like that.

What is knowledge??

IN simplest terms, knowledge is the ability to respond to a body of facts and principles accumulated
over a period of time

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.
