‘Knowledge can be facts, information, and skills acquired through experience or
education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject’.
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.
