Money and skill is like the “chicken and egg” problem. When we don’t have money, we can easily speak “Well, the Americans, the Japanese, the French, the Germans, they just happen to have a lot of money. They can do whatever they want. They can make metro subway systems, fast trains, space shuttles, they can even send robots to make a picture of the edge of the solar systems”.
But when someday, someone come to us and say “Here’s the deal: I offer you to 5 million euros and no less, and you’ll give me your business proposal. Remember, I want no less. 5 million; the bigger the better!”, we finally realize that it is skill that we don’t have, because probably we won’t know what kind of hi-tech business to propose with such a large amount of money. Even if we know what to do, we might know nothing about how we can do it.
And by the way, that was a true story, not just a hypothetical situation.
So which one should come first? money or skill? well, just leave it as a chicken and egg problem :p
Wallahu a’lam
