"PERCEPTION: THE NATURE OF BIG DIFFERENCE"
A heart surgeon took his car to his local garage for a regular service,
where he usually exchanged a little friendly banter with the owner, a skilled
but not especially wealthy mechanic.
"So tell me," says the mechanic, "I've been wondering about
what we both do for a living, and how much more you get paid than me.."
"Yes? " says the surgeon.
"Well look at this," says the mechanic, as he worked on a big
complicated engine, "I check how it's running, open it up, fix the valves,
and put it all back together so it works good as new.. We basically do the same
job don't we? And yet you are paid ten times
what I am - how do you explain
that?"
The surgeon thought for a moment, and smiling gently, replied, "Try it
with the engine running."
