A giant ship's engine broke down and no one could repair it, so they hired a Mechanical Engineer with over 40 years of experience.He inspected the engine very carefully, from top to bottom. After seeing everything, the engineer unloaded the bag and pulled out a small hammer.He knocked something gently. Soon, the engine came to life again. The engine has been fixed!7 days later the engineer mentioned that the total cost of repairing the giant ship was $20,000 to the ship owner."What?!" said the owner."You did almost nothing. Give us a detailed bill."The answer is simple:Tap with a hammer: $2Know where to knock and how much to knock: $19,998The importance of appreciating one's expertise and experience...because those are the results of struggles, experiments and even tears.If I do a job in 30 minutes it's because I spent 20 years learning how to do that in 30 minutes. You owe me for the years, not the minutes.
