Every day he was cutting wood for sale. Every morning he went to the woods and come home before sunset. Arriving at her home break to wait for the next day, at sunrise to go back to the forest to cut wood.

This he did continuously without stopping. But over time the results his wood began to decline. Slowly but surely, he brings home wood decreased steadily from day to day. Looking at the results decreases continuously, he decided to increase the hours worked. He went over the morning and going home later.

Initially, with the addition of working hours, the results his wood slightly increased. But after a while diminishing returns to normal, if extra time is useless. Even a time timber harvest is conducted in overtime result logging fewer than he did at the beginning of her career as a woodcutter.

Until one day he met a woodcutter other. Woodcutter who had met only it uses the same type and time axes used to fell the same. But the results obtained loggers were never dropped. It makes him feel amazement, why their products are declining while others do not?

Finally he asked the secret to his new friend, how the wood is not decreased. His friend replied, that the secret is very simple, he diligently honed his ax to keep it sharp. But loggers responded that he did not have time to sharpen his ax, he is busy to pursue the amount of production in order to get money to make ends meet.

His friend the sage said, “You do spend some time to sharpen your ax. But the time that you use to supplant the ax will be replaced, because you will felling trees faster.” We were together, we have a “hatchet” though in another form which we must always hone in order to remain productive. Our energy, if used will be reduced, then we have to refill it. As well as with faith, often down, then we must raise our faith again. Do we feel do not have the time?
