A giant 🚢 ship's engine broke down

A giant 🚢 ship's engine broke down and no one could repair it, so they hired a Mechanical Engineer with over 30 years of experience. ⚙️ He inspected the engine very carefully, from top to bottom. After seeing everything, the engineer unloaded his 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 engineer mentioned to the ship owner that the total cost of repairing the giant ship was $20,000. 💰 "What?!" said the owner. “You did almost nothing. Give us a detailed bill." The Engineer replied him “The answer is simple:” Tap with a hammer: $2 Know where to knock and how much to knock: $19,998. 💰 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 minute...
