Value of a Calf A motorist driving by a Texas ranch hit and killed a calf that was crossing the road. The driver went to the owner of the calf and explained what had happened. He then asked what the animal was worth. “ Oh, about $200 today,” said the rancher. “But in six years it would have been worth $900. So $900 is what I’m out.” The motorist sat down and wrote out a check and handed it to the rancher. “ Here,” he said, “is a check for $900. It’s post-dated six years from now.” The Engineer There was an engineer who had an exceptional gift for fixing all mechanical things. After serving his company loyally for over 30 years, he happily retired. Several years later, his company contacted him regarding a seemingly impossible problem they were having with one of their multi-million dollar machines. They had tried everything and everyone else to get the machine fixed, but to no avail. In desparation, they called on the retired engineer who had solved so many of their problems in the past. The engineer spent a day studying the huge machine. At the end of the day, he marked a small X in chalf on a particular component of the machine and said “This is where your problem is.” The part was replaced, and the machine worked perfectly again. The company received a bill for $50,000 from the engineer for his services. They demanded an itemized accounting of his charges. The engineer responded briefly: One chalk mark …………………..……$1 Knowing where to put it ……….. $49,999
