A giant ship's engine broke down,the ship’s owners tried one ‘professional’ after another but none of them could figure out how to fix the broken engine 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!

A week later, the owners received an invoice from the old man for $20,000.
What?! the owners exclaimed. “He hardly did anything..!!!”.
So they wrote to the man; “Please send us an itemized invoice''

Tapping with a hammer………………….. $1.00
Knowing where to tap…………………….. $9,999.00
The 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.
