Its not the hammer but the strike that matters!

Its not the hammer but the strike that matters!

With the glimpse of a setting sun, a wealthy businessman's car sputtered to a stop in a dark and frightening forest - Panic set in as he tried everything to get it started again, but it refused to budge. Fear crept in as night fell, and the sounds of wild animals echoed through the trees. Desperate for help, he called his advisor, pleading for someone to come and rescue him.

After numerous efforts and time of an eternity, a mechanic finally agreed to come, but at a steep price. The rich man hesitated, but the thought of spending the night in the haunted forest was too terrifying to bear, he reluctantly agreed to the price.

As the mechanic arrived, the rich man's anxiety turned to relief. With a few quick moves, the car roared back to life. But as he reached for his wallet to pay, he couldn't help but feel outrage at the cost.

"You charged me so much for just one blow!" he exclaimed. The mechanic looked at him with humble eyes and folded hands and spoke for the first time, "Sir, I didn't charge you for the blow- I charged you for knowing where to strike. That's what got us out of this nightmare."

The rich man's anger melted away, replaced by a deep appreciation for the mechanic's expertise. He realised that sometimes, it's worth paying for knowledge and skill. And as he drove away from the forest, he knew he would never forget the lesson he learned that day.

Genie Says - It is not always the blow but the strike that matters ; The difference between knowledge and skill lies in its application
