When one looks at something awe-inspiring, The scientist asks 'How does it
work?' The philosopher asks 'Why does it work?' The manager asks 'Will it
work for us?' The accountant asks 'Can we get to work cheaper?' The
engineer thinks 'Why didn't I think of that!? Give me a week and I could
make a better one.' and says 'I should be able to make one that will work
better, but it'll take at least 2 weeks.'
