Don’t only work hard, work smart…

We sometimes feel that we are spending so much time to achieve some goal, but why can’t we reach upto the level? We try hard and harder but the result becomes same even worse. But why? we search for the ‘why’ thing more and more,but can’t get it. In this case, let me share a story which will help you to find the ‘why’ thing.

Once upon a time a very strong woodcutter ask for a job in a timber merchant and he got it. The paid 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 18 trees.”Congratulations,” the boss said. “Go on that way!” Very motivated by the boss’ words, the woodcutter try harder the next day, but he only could bring 15 trees. The third day he try even harder, but he only could bring 10 trees.Day after day he was bringing less and less trees. “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…”

I think, you already understood what I am talking about. There is no doubt that we all have so much potential within us, but we have to use it properly, we have to use it effeiciently. So whenever you want to reach a goal, don’t only work hard, work smart, you will achieve it obviously.
