Knowing makes us different !!!





A giant ship engine failed. The ship's owners tried one
expert after another, but none of them could figure but
how to fix the engine.

Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships
since he was a young. He carried a large bag of tools with
him, and 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 he would know what to do. After looking things
over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a
small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine
lurched into life. He carefully put his hammer away. The engine
was fixed!



A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man
for ten thousand dollars.

"What?!" the owners exclaimed. "He hardly did anything!"
So they wrote the old man a note saying, "Please send us
an itemized bill."

The man sent a bill that read:
Tapping with a hammer....................... $ 2.00
Knowing where to tap.......................... $ 9,998.00

Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort
makes all the difference!
