K FOR 'KNOWLEDGE'.. KNOW-WHY vs KNOW-HOW!


### It was a job certain complex plumbing connections..

The junior plumber was worried.. 

With the plumbing connections in front, he memorized the right spanner pressure he had to apply and hammer force he had to use to make the connections in front leak proof..

The senior plumber was cool..

He took the hammer, gave 2 strokes, took out the parts loosened and re connected new pipes and with few turns made exact pressure connection..

"Not a drop leaks now.. I assure!"

He said, took his monies and walked off heroically with his junior!

### The furnace in the metal industry was very hot. The flame was bright and white in color throwing out a lot of heat..

The young technician was worried..

"The temperature measuring instrument appears sleek and I can't easily take it near the flame and position it there. I should carefully do it. Let me read the Dos and Don'ts in this context, follow them meticulously with necessary precautions and then only go near to the furnace!"

The senior technician cool..

"Note down the temperature I tell.. Now the flame is steady.. It's......deg C... The variation is + or -...  deg C.. The color of the flame very much confirms that right temp required.. Ready the items to be heated!"

### A unit had to be installed on a platform in the heavy industry workshop where the fixing was a little complicated with narrow twisted entrance..

The young workman was worried..

"To fix this unit at the back, how to reach there, install the unit and tighten the bolts? There's no go, I should design a sophisticated tool here. Let me brush up my tool design knowledge for a while!"

The senior workman was cool..

He directed the young man to bring the unit, himself sat in a comfortable position at a height, slowly put the unit into the tunnel like space positioning it on it's seating area, introduced a spanner into the duct and tightened the 4 mounting bolts with his experienced hands!

### A member entered the library and requested help for locating 2 books for borrowing purpose..

The young librarian was worried..

He quickly caught hold of the Index Nos of the books and straight headed to the related shelves but found them not there. He was in certain confusion when he equally found the status of the 2 books as not issued..

The senior librarian was cool..

He looked at his watch and said to the young librarian,

"Go straight, at the end turn right, go to the end and search in rack at the corner on the top shelf. The 1st book will be there. Again, do the same exact the opposite end, the 2nd book will be there. They are the places the regular readers usually hide their favorite books..

The 1st book sure will be there but may not be the 2nd book. Then tell the member that it's with the tall and thin man fair in color with thick spectacles sitting in the corner to the right of the second reading table. The member can request that visitor in case he needs the book very badly!"
