SHARPEN THE AXE

On one occasion, a young man came to a lumberjack field for the purpose of getting a job. He spoke to the person responsible and the man, seeing the appearance and strength of this young man, accepted it without thinking about it and told him that he could start the next day.

During his first day on the mountain he worked hard and cut many trees.

The second day worked as much as the first, but its production was barely half the first day.

On the third day he set out to improve his production. From the first moment he struck the axe with all his fury against the trees. Still, the results were zero.

When the chief lumberjack realized the young lumberjack's poor performance, he asked:

-When was the last time you sharpened your axe?

The young man replied:

-Really, I haven't had time... I've been too busy cutting trees...
