a slice of life

A woodcutter got hired by this lumbering company. Coupled with ridiculously good pay, lovely working hours, he couldn't be happier. Given these beatutiful settings, he convinced himself to work really hard and please his employers.

His first day at work, his employer gave him an axe and he set out and cut an amazing 18 trees.
Rather please with his performance, the employer told him,"that's the way to go. "

Very much encouraged by this, he set forth again on the 2nd day and pushed himself to work harder. yet surprisingly, he cut down only 15 trees. a little disappointed, he returned home.

the days followed, with him working harder than ever, but yet cutting less and less trees each time.

very much distraught at this, he went to his boss with his head down and apologised: "i'm sorry, but as much as i've tried my best to cut, i just seem to cut less trees everytime.." then his employer asked,"have u sharpened your axe?"

rather amazed at the mention of that question he replied,"no, i've been too busy cutting trees."

sometimes we have to take time off our busy schedules to do "sharpen" ourselves. These things include, taking time off to realx or do things that are important to our personal well-being. Like meditating, spending family time or hanging out with friends.

take time to stare at the birds, listen to the chatter of people, feel the rustle of the grass beneath the soles of your feet, smell the flowers. to love those close to u.

now...can i have a hug?=D
