The mechanic

Once a ship engine broke down. The ship crew were not able to fix it how much ever they tried.



The owner of the ship called for the best mechanic in the town.
The mechanic tried starting the engine, noticed the sounds it made and made a few taps on the engine with his hammer.
Engine started working and the owner was very happy.
He asked the mechanic how much he need to pay. Mechanic answered that the total bill is $100.
The owner with surprise, asked him why he needs to pay $100 for just tapping the engine.
The mechanic gave him a bill saying " $1 for tapping the engine. $99 for knowing where to tap !"

Experience matters. We need to have a steady mind, learn, improvise and gain experience from our work.
