Take a moment to read and think about this........ .
Here goes the story:
Once upon a time, there was a very strong woodcutter.He asked for a
job from a timber merchant, and he got it. The pay was really good and so
were the work conditions.For that reason the woodcutter was
determined to do his best.
His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he was
supposed to work. The first day, the woodcutter brought down 18 trees. The
Boss was very much impressed and said, "Congratulations keep it up!"
Very motivated by the words of the boss, the woodcutter tried harder
thenext day, but he only could bring down 15 trees. The third day he
tried even harder, but he only could bring down 10 trees. Day after
day he was bringing down less and less trees. "I must be losing my
strength", the woodcutter thought to himself.
He went to the boss and apologized, saying that he could not
understand what was going on.
"When was the last time you sharpened your Axe?" the boss asked.
"Sharpen? I had no time to sharpen my Axe. I have been very busy
trying to cut trees.
The moral of the story:
Our lives are like that. We sometimes get so busy that we don't take
time to sharpen the axe. In today's world, it seems that everyone is
busier than ever, but less happy than ever. Why is that?
Could it be that we have forgotten how to stay sharp?
There is nothing wrong with activity and hard work. But we should not
get so busy that we neglect the truly important things in life, like
our personal life, taking time to care for others, taking time to read,
etc.
We all need time to relax, to think and meditate, to learn and grow.
If we don't take time to sharpen our lives , we will become dull and
lose our effectiveness.
So start from today, think about the ways by which you could do your
job more effectively and add a lot of value to it.
Hope this story has given you some insight to life.
May you be happy always.
