Tapping at the right spot at the right time by the right way!

In one of the famous factory in Detroit, there was an issue in the assembly line and the factory stopped because of it. The local experts tried their best and could not fix the issue. Finally they took the help of an expert from Chicago.

The expert flew from Chicago to Detroit and went through the whole assembly line. At last he stopped at one place and took a spanner from his pocket and tapped it twice on the assembly line. The whole assembly line got back into action. After a week the expert sent his bill of $ 20.000 to the company.

After paying the expert’s bill, the owner of the company rang up to thank him and asked the expert jovially, does each of your tap costs $10,000? The expert said that each tap costs $2 only. And the remaining $19.996 is for knowing where to tap.

Moral :

1. Try all possible solution to solve an existing problem
2. Do not judge a person by what they do but judge by what value they create
3. Do not charge your customer based on what you had done, but by what they gained by it
4. When you produce results, you get whatever you ask for.
5. Great People do not do different things but they do things differently
6. Tapping at the right spot at the right time by the right way matters
