Did you sharpen your axe?

[Sam_theone]

<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>Once upon a time a very strong woodcutter asked
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>for a job in a timber merchant, and he got it.
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>His salary was really good and so were the working conditions,
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>for that reasonthe woodcutter was determined to do his best.
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he was supposed to fell the trees.
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>The first day, the woodcutter brought 15 trees.
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>“Congratulations,” the boss said.
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>“Carry on with your work!”
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>Highly motivated by the words of his boss,
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>the woodcutter tried harder the next day, but he only could bring 10 trees,
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>the third day he tried even harder but he was only able to bring 7 trees.
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>Day after day he was bringing fewer trees.
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>“I must be losing my strength”.
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>The woodcutter thought, he went to the boss and apologized, saying that he could not understand what was going on.
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>“When was the last time you sharpen your axe?” The Boss asked.
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>“Sharpen? I had no time to sharpen my axe.
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>I have been very busy trying to cut the trees…”
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>Moral of the story:
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>Most of us never update our skills. We think that whatever we have learned is very much enough.
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>But good is not good when better is expected.
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>
<DIV =Msonormal style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.4pt" align=center>Sharpening our skills from time to time is the key to success.

An excellent moral lesson !

In order to move with time we must
make ourselves as multi-skilled
as we can !
