Where to make an effort

A giant ship engine failed. The ship's owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure how to fix the engine. Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was a youngster. He arrived with a large bag of tools and immediately went to work. As he inspected the engine top to bottom, two of the ship's owners were watching him.

After looking things over, the old man gently tapped something with a small hammer.
Instantly, the engine lurched into life. So, the engine was fixed.

A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for $ 10,000"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 in your life makes all the difference!
