❌ 30 ans d'expérience ça se paye

Le post original

If I do the work in 30 minutes, it's not because it’s easy; it's because I’ve spent 30 years learning how to make it look that way. You owe me not for the time it took today, but for the lifetime of practice and expertise that made it possible. The efficiency and quality of the work are often the result of years of dedication, learning, and honing one’s craft. This perspective challenges the idea that quicker means cheaper, and instead highlights the deeper value of wisdom and experience that makes such efficiency possible. It’s a call to respect the journey behind the skill, not just the visible outcome. Feel free to share your thoughts. 💭 Video Credit: @motifyr #whatinspiresme #engineering #engineers #highereducation

❌ Of course, it's just a parable. What’s amusing is how this story has inflated over time. The earliest reference Quote Investigator found dates back to 1908 in England, where the price was a modest 10 pounds and 10 shillings. It appeared in “The Journal of the Society of Estate Clerks of Works” in Winchester. By 1921, a Canadian reader of Forbes magazine upped it to 250 USD: $1 for the tap, $249 for knowing where to tap. https://quoteinvestigator.com/2017/03/06/tap/#f+15614+1+9 In 2014, the price jumped to $5,000 in a story about a graybeard engineer. https://www.buzzmaven.com/old-engineer-hammer-2/ But in 1965, LIFE magazine referenced the famous electrical engineer Charles Proteus Steinmetz, who died in 1923. When Ford’s River Rouge plant's massive generator broke down, Steinmetz was called in, and the bill? A cool $10,000. https://books.google.nl/books?id=QFMEAAAAMBAJ&q=%22chalk+mark%22&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=%22chalk%20mark%22&f=false By 2020, the price held steady at $10,000: https://medium.com/@oceanbcreative/the-ship-repair-man-story-dd959a4469d8 And now it’s up to $20,000, as per this post: • Tapping with a hammer: $2.00 • Knowing where to tap: $19,998.00 So, how much would you pay for a gentle tap?
