There was once a professor who wanted to cross a river and he approached a local boatman who agreed to row him downstream for a $50.
As they made their way down the river, the professor decides to show off his intelligence and high education so he started to test the simple boatman.
Picking up a leaf, the professor arrogantly asks the boatman, “Have you studied Botany?” The boatman looks at him blankly and replies, “No.. I’m just a boatman, Sir. I don’t even understand what the word meant.”
Then I’m afraid 25% of your life is gone!” the professor loftily says. The boatman feels really bad about his ignorance but continues to row on.
As they move further downstream, the river currents begin to get stronger and stronger. The professor picks up a stone dropped on the boat and asks, “Boatman, have you ever studied Geology?” The confused poor boatman again says, “No….”
The professor shakes his head and says, “Then 50% of your life is gone!” He then signals him to carry on rowing. As they move further downstream, the currents get even stronger, the water is moving faster and the boat begins to sway violently.
