Inspirational Story: Think Smart, Work Smart and Rest Smart...
Must Read..

Once there was a group of man - a young hot-blooded chap and a big
number of old folks, doing timber job in a jungle.

This young chap is very hard working. He always continues to work
through his break time and complains that those old folks were wasting
time,

having to break few times a day to drink and chat. As times goes by,
this young chap noticed that even though he worked through break time
and hardly took a rest.

those old folks are chopping the same amount of trees as he did and
sometimes did more than he did. It was as if those old folks work
through the break time as he did. So he decided to work harder the
next day.unfortunately the results were even worse.

One day, one of the old folk invited him for a drink during their
break time. That young chap refused and said he has no extra time to
spend! Then the old man smiled to him and said it was just a waste of
effort to keep chopping trees without re-sharpening your Axe. Sooner
or later you will give up or be so exhausted as you have spent too
much energy.

Suddenly the young chap realized that actually during break times
while those old folks were having a chat, they were also re-sharpening
their Axe at the same time! And that's how they can chop faster than
him and yet spending lesser time!

The old folk said what we need is efficiency by making use of our
skill and ability intelligently. Only then can we have more times to
do other things.

Otherwise you will always keep saying ...

I have no time!

Moral of the Story: By taking a short break during work, it would make
you feel fresher, think well and work better after the break! (Or am I
just finding excuse to take a break). But by taking a break, it is not
to stop work but to rest and re-think our strategy to go about it from
another angle.
