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 toWork.
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 the
next 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 the axe, we will become
dull and lose our
Effectiveness.
So start from today, think about the ways by which
we could do our job
more effectively and add a lot of value to it.
Hope this story has given us some insight to life.
May we be happy always.
