If I do a job in 30 minutes, I spent 20 years learning how to do that in 30 minutes. And therefore, you owe me for the years, not for the minutes.

A great many people don’t really understand this. I am fortunate to hold skills that fairly few people have. I have had customers seem a bit perved when I deny quoting a lower quality project. It’s simple really. Why compete with a 100 other contractors quoting at the bottom when I can set a fair price for me and another customer who’s not looking for the every day job.

So true. Examples abound.: Doctors who charge (say) $5,000 to restore a sense (sight, hearing, smell, etc.) in a four hour procedure. Was it worth it? (Rhetoric question).

My whole life has been a learning experience! Now if find myself at a fairly advanced age with less ability to do a lot of the things I learned over my lifetime. I guess it is good that I am retired!

If I cook you a breakfast in 30 minutes, you should pay 20 times more, because eggs went up..

I was asked once to teach the other person.
I replied: Teach you what?
They stated: Teach me, how to buy and sell.

I told him this:
How can I Teach you something that has taken me my whole life to learn?

Each and everything has a different amount of circumstances.
