Sharpen Your Skills

[Guest guest]

Sharpen Your SkillsOnce upon a time a very strong woodcutter asked for a job with a timber

merchant, and he got it. His salary was really good and so were the

working 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 fell the trees. The first day, the

woodcutter brought down 15 trees. " Congratulations, " the boss said. " Carry on with your work! "

Highly

motivated by the words of his boss, the woodcutter tried harder the

next day, but he only could bring 10 trees down. The third day he tried

even harder, but he was only able to bring down 7 trees. Day after day he was bringing lesser number of trees down.

"

I must be losing my strength " , the woodcutter thought. 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... "

That's

right. Most of us NEVER update our skills. We think that whatever we

have learned is very much enough. But good is not good when better is

expected. Sharpening our skills from time to time is the key to succes-Unknown Author
