A giant ship engine failed. The ship's owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure out how to fix the engine.
Then they brought an old man who had been fixing ships since he was a youngster. He carried a large bag of tools.
When he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom.
Two of the ship's owners were there, watching this man, hoping that he could know what to do. After looking things over
The old man opened his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lunched into life.
He carefully put his hammer back in the bag, shouting the engine is fixed!
A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for ten (10) thousand Dollars.
"What?!" the owners exclaimed. "He hardly did anything!"
So they wrote to the old man a note saying, "Please send us an itemized Bill."
The man sent a bill that read:
Tapping with hammer ............................$ 2.00
Knowing where to tap ...........................$ 9998.00
MORAL OF THE STORY:
"Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort in your life Makes all the difference".
