where to put your effort

Once somewhere...

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 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.
 
Two 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 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.

So go to a green park sit under a green wood tree and think alone for a
while... you will know where to put your effort…
