Experience is worth it!

A giant ship engine failed. The ship’s owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure out how to fix the engine.

Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was a young boy. 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 the engine. Instantly, the engine sprang 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 twenty 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:

Hammer.....................................………………….. $ 20.00

Knowing where to tap…………………….. $ 19,980.00

The old man had the experience and in the end was more successful than those before him. He was also cheaper than the cost of the failures and delays resulting from this company listening to the wrong experts.
