While setting up a new Mesh network environment at my parents’ home in the evening, I accidentally let my Apple MacBook Pro laptop slip off the sofa onto the floor. The loud thud stabbed straight into my pounding heart. Anxiously, I carefully powered it on and let out a long sigh of relief—fortunately, nothing was wrong.

At that moment I immediately turned to tease my mom: last time she dropped this MBP from an even lower height, and the sound was much quieter than now—as light as a mosquito bite—yet it managed to break the laptop’s display, turning it into a black screen.

Nowadays you can’t go a moment without a screen, and that time it cost me over NT$400 to get our important work laptop repaired (the money went to buying a special Torx screwdriver; the simple circuit inspection and repair I did myself).

As I always say, anyone who possesses the legendary “craftsman’s hand” won’t have any problems even if they drop things themselves—just as mysteriously as when others have computer problems and everything is fine when they hand it to me.

Perhaps it’s like the Sun Hand in Yakitate!! Japan that carries high heat—the craftsman’s hand simply carries its own healing electromagnetic waves.
