The Power and Value of Knowledge
The painter Pablo Picasso was at a cafe when a woman approached him and asked him to sketch a portrait of her. "Certainly, Madam." he replied, and started sketching. In a few minutes he had finished the portrait, and then showing it to her, wrote down his price for the portrait in the napkin. "You must be crazy to ask that much!", the woman got angry. "It took you only three minutes to draw my portrait!". "Yes, Madam," Picasso calmly replied, "but it took me 40 years to learn how to master it."
