A giant ship's engine broke down and no one could repair it, so they hired a Mechanical Engineer with over 30 years of experience.

He inspected the engine very carefully, from top to bottom. After seeing everything, the engineer unloaded his bag and pulled out a small hammer.

He knocked something gently. Soon, the engine came to life again. The engine has been fixed!

A week later the engineer mentioned to the ship owner that the total cost of repairing the giant ship was $20,000.

"What?!" said the owner.

"You did almost nothing. Give us a detailed bill."

The answer is simple:

Tap with a hammer: $2

Know where to knock and how much to knock: $19,998

The importance of appreciating one's expertise and experience...because those are the results of struggles, experiments and even tears.

If I do a job in 30 minutes it's because I spent 20 years learning how to do that in 30 minutes. You owe me for the years, not the minutes

why research?: attributional (subjective) bias

'people are more easily swayed by a single, vivid story [amygdala] than by a large body of statistical evidence [hippocampus]' (Plous 1993, pp. 123-124, as cited inhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heuristics_in_judgment_and_decision-making) [parenthetical remark mine].

ex: tornado, terrorism, suicide, stroke, lottery (one winner vs millions who did not; thus, the appeal to it)

B.    Results

1.   1.Support System

>”… when confronted with financial or other family problems, the family would rely on the relatives or the neighbors for assistance.” (p. 38)

>”For instance, an unwed pregnant woman finds support in her family when they accept the child born out of wedlock as part of the family.” (p. 38)

>”Neighbors become an extension of the family and are expected to provide social support.” (p. 38)

-- Example: neighbors are asked to informally look after the children when not around (“silipin” or to “take a peek”), neighbors immediately report child’s misdemeanour to parents

>Citation: “The Filipino is clannish and expects to be morally, socially, and financially supported in many ways by his immediate as well as extended family. Thus, the family becomes the REFUGE and SHELTER of a person at good and bad times” [Jocano, L. (1998). Filipino social organization, traditional kinship and family organization. Manila: Punlad Research House, p. 63.]

>Related Study: “In the Go study (1995) [Go. S. (1993). The Filipino family in the eighties. Manila: Social Development Research Center, De La Salle University – Manila], urban poor mothers said they usually ask help from a great number of people such as their siblings, friends, relatives, employer, in-laws, co-workers, owners of small-variety stores, and members of the community organizations as part of the INFORMAL SYSTEM. They also seek help from nuns, the police, government authroties (for [pp 38/39] issues concerning demotions), health center, and other FORMAL SYSTMES like, TV show personalities like “Mel and Jay,” “TV Patrol,” and “Kapwa ko Mahal ko”.

   “Based on Go’s study, seventy-five percent (75%) of the URBAN POOR mothers stated that they were satisfied with the support system provided by the informal and formal systems, twenty-five percent were not satisfied” (p. 39).

 

2.    2.Religion and Faith

>…the phrase ‘nasa Diyos and awa, nasa tao ang gawa” (God is merciful, but man must do his part) was a common response used by the parents, giving the impression that resorting to religion and faith is how they cope in times of difficulty or during crisis situations. In fact, PRAYING has often been resorted to whenever they are in trouble. “Magdasal sa Dios pag may problema” (pray to God when there is a problem). Perhaps as a Christian nation, praying is PART OF THE FILIPINO PSYCHE since we have been taught to perceive God as merciful. But this behaviour of turning to prayers and God is more apparent … during times of distress” (p. 39).

 

3.    3.Humor

>”… the sense of humor of the participants was [pp. 30/40] evident, becoming an INTEGRAL PART of their storytelling, laughing at the problems they shared as wife and mother, and diffusing the seriousness of the discussion.” (pp. 39-40)

>Citation: “Humor as a way of coping has also been observed among Filipinos.” (paraphrased form: The Committee Report: Building a People, Building a Nation: A Moral Recovery Program. In Acuňa, J., Rodriguez, R., & Pilar, N (Eds.). Readings in human behaviour in organization. Quezon City: Diwata Printing.)
