A.The type of knowledge you seek According to Benjamin Franklin" An investment in knowledge yields the best interest" A car engine failed. The man tried and call his mechanic but none of them can fix the engine. Then they brought in an old mechanic who had been fixing cars since he was a young.He carried his mechanical tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom. the car owner and the Mechanic were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do.After looking things over, the old mechanic reached into his bag and pulled out a small spanner. He gently tapped something. Instantly, and ask the owner to start the car. instantly, the engine lurched into life. He carefully put his spanner away. The engine was fixed! A week later, the car owner received a bill from the old mechanic for ten thousand dollars.“What?!” the owner exclaimed. “He hardly did anything!”So they wrote the old man a note saying, “Please send us an itemized bill.”so the old mechanic sent a bill that read: Tapping with a spanner…… …… ……… $ 2.00 Knowing where to tap……… …… ……… $ 9,998.00 You really want know the type of knowledge you seek? "That knowledge which purifies the mind and heart alone is true knowledge,all else is only a negation of knowledge" Rama Krishna. your passion totally shows you the knowledge you seek.At first you might get confused on the knowledge you really want and tend to be jack of all trades making you master of none.ask yourself about that particular thing you love doing,is the knowledge you should seek. You might still have a minor knowledge about that thing in you but I assure you once u start consuming it knowledge and add little action in it ,it automatically converts adversity into prosperity. But remember the words of Margret Fuller "if you have a knowledge ,let others light their candle in it" reminds me in a town in the south east of Africa when I was small I usually hangout in a particular baber's shop who claims he has traveled all around the country but I knew cutting your hair only cost $5 and he has wife and two kids to feed, pays rent and also run other bills in the house.soon I started been curious ,how he normally survive ,so I ask him"how do you pay bills with only $5 you earn and u even barely make 3 to 7 customers a day. He said "it all God blessing,I don't only cut hair,I mend shoes,repair touch light and phone and in a day I make almost a $100" he says,I further ask him" do you learn all this things you mentioned" "No" he said I only talk with the people that do this occupation and somehow I get to know a little about how to do all this things,and he completed his statement saying" My boy remember no knowledge is waisted and and learn to seek for knowledge no matter how unimportant it might look on the surface"
