Don't Underestimate Experience
A ship engine failed and no one could fix it.
Then they brought in a chap with 40 yrs. on the job.
He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom. After looking things over, the guy reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life.
The engine was fixed!
7 Days later the owners got his bill for 10k.
'What?!' the owners said 'You hardly did anything.Send us an itemized bill."
The reply simply said "Tapping with hammer $2. Knowing where to tap $9,998."

Dance as if no one's watching, sing as if no one's listening, and live everyday as if it were your last.
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
