There is an old story of the 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."

In the story, the mechanic got paid what he asked for , just because of his knowledge.The basic
driving force behind our every action is knowledge. Flying an aircraft or cracking CAT, everything
requires knowledge.

But is knowledge is the only asset you should accumulate :

The rich people and the biggest industries are rich simple because of the knowledge.

Knowledge drives all business activities, growth of the company and it is a company's differentiator.
Your greatest asset is your earning ability, to apply your knowledge, skills in order to get results
which others will pay. You are always on the right track if your knowledge is worth more than your
current income.

"There is no wealth like knowledge and no poverty like ignorance

The more knowledge you gain, the more enlightened your vision becomes':

One can take all the money, all the assets you have but cannot take ones knowledge. Knowledge is
one such wealthy asset that can always be earned in every situation of life.
