KNOWING WHERE TO FIND THE ANSWERS
Theodore Roosevelt told the delightful story of a business person who had consulted an attorney for legal advice. The business person was having coffee with a friend one day and he recounted the experience. "Why did you spend your hared-earned money for a lawyer?" asked his friend. "The law books in his office contain every answer you could ever want. Why didn't you just read the right book and find out the answer for yourself? It would have saved you a lot of money.
"That's true," replied the business person, "but the difference is the lawyer knew what book and what page the answer was on."
