THE OLD MAN & THE GIANT SHIP...


THE OLD MAN & THE GIANT SHIP:-

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

Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was a youngster. He carried a large #BagOfTools with him, & 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 & 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 #TenThousandDollars...

"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 $ 9998.00

MORAL/LESSON:-
Effort is important, but #KNOWING where to make an effort makes all the difference!
