Good Effort

Dear All,

Just look at the below message:


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 in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was
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.

Both 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 owner's 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

Effort is important, but knowing where to make an
effort in your life makes all the difference, which probably comes
only with experience...
