Once upon a time a very strong woodcutter went to a timber merchent and asked for a job , 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 cut the trees
The first day, the woodcutter brought fifteen (15) trees. “Congratulations,” the boss said, “Go on with your work! ”Highly motivated by the words of his boss, the woodcutter tried harder the next day, but he could only bring ten (10) trees. The third day he tried even harder, but he was only able to bring seven (7) 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
Moral :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 success
هیزم شکن
روزی روزگاری ، چوب بری نیرومند نزد تاجر چوبی رفت و تقاضای کار کرد و استخدام شد . دستمزدش خیلی خوب بود و همین طور شرایط کاریش . به همین دلیل ، چوب بر مصمم بود به بهترین نحو ، کارش را انجام دهد . اربابش به او تبری داد و محدوده ای که باید درختان را قطع میکرد ، به او نشان داد .
روز اول ، چوب بر پانزده درخت آورد . ارباب گفت : ”تبریک میگویم،به کارت ادامه بده“
چوب بر که از حرف اربابش حسابی تشویق شده بود ، روز بعد تلاش بیشتری کرد ، اما توانست فقط ده درخت بیاورد . روز سوم ، او بیشتر تلاش کرد اما توانست فقط هفت درخت بیاورد. روز به روز ، او کمتر و کمتر درخت می آورد .
چوب بر فکر کرد : ”من حتما قدرتم را از دست داده ام”. او نزد ریسش( اربابش) رفت و گفت” نمی فهمه چه اتفاقی داره می افته و عذر خواهی کرد . ارباب پرسید : ”آخرین باری که تبرت را تیز کردی، کی بود؟ ”
“تیز!” ” من وقتی برای تیز کردن تبرم نداشتم . من سخت مشغول قطع کردن درختان بوده ام .
نکته اخلاقی : بیشتر ما توانایی مان را به روز نمی کنیم . فکر می کنیم آنچه یاد گرفته ایم کاملا کافی است . اما خوب خوب نیست ، وقتی انتظار بهتر را داریم .بروز کردن گهگاه مهارتهایمان ، کلید موفقیت ماست .
