Life always gives us many opportunities every day. Some people make use of it while others go on losing the opportunities every time. We should always keep ourselves prepared as we are never sure when we will get a chance and if we are unprepared at the moment we will lose the chance and maybe we will not get the chance again.
Once upon a time, there lived a woodcutter. He used to cut the trees for a contractor. Many other woodcutters also worked there. He worked hard for the whole day. One of his colleagues was too lazy. He would come to cut the woods but would disappear in the middle for about two hours and used to appear again for working and went home after some time.
Every month at the time of salary the best worker would get an extra bonus. The woodcutter was surprised to see that most of the time the lazy man got an award for good work. He got very curious and went to the contractor and asked him about this man.
The contractor showed him the monthly report and much to his surprise, every month the lazy man had cut woods more than everyone else.then he went to the lazy man and asked him the reason
The man laughed and answered"My dear friend, every day when I disappear for two hours, it is the time when I sharpen my ax .with the sharpened ax I am able to cut more woods than your ax because it takes less time and hard work.
We also need to sharpen our ax. For us, the ax is our skill. the story tells us that we should always keep on polishing our skills as our skills will be the tool when the opportunity will knock at our door
The basic requirement of getting success is continuous and tireless efforts.We should never stop making efforts if we want to achieve our goals.
