    The owners of a ship with a failed engine tried multiple experts but none could fix it. They brought in an old mechanic who inspected the engine carefully and tapped it with a small hammer, instantly starting it. He billed them $10,000, and when they questioned the amount, his itemized bill showed $2 for the tap and $9,998 for knowing where to tap. The moral is that while effort is important, knowing where to apply effort makes all the difference.
