Wood Cutter

Would you like to AutoArchieve your old items now ?
Ya kurang lebih begini deh instruksinya tampilan outlook tadi pagi, karena email kepenuhan.
And then I klik "NO" alhasil kerjaan tambahan muncul pagi, mensortir sebagian email untuk masuk Archieve. Kenapa ngga langsung automatis aja sih ??? ya maklum kerjaan eike segabruk jadi banyak email urgent yang belum gue pisahin, alhasil gue memilah milah mana yang harus di Archieve, mana yang harus di keep. Dan seketika saat memilah milah, gue menemukan email ini from my greatest boss and actually still be my boss 'till today. Yes this email dedicate to me :

Subject : STORRY OF A WOOD CUTTER 

IS IT YOU ?  
Once upon a time, a very strong woodcutter asked for a job in a timber merchant and he got it. The pay was really good and so was the work condition. 
For those reasons, the woodcutter was determined to do his best.

His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he supposed to work.

The first day, the woodcutter brought 18 trees.

“Congratulations,” the boss said. “Go on that way!”

Very motivated by the boss words, the woodcutter tried harder the next day, but he could only bring 15 trees. The third day he tried even harder, but he could only bring 10 trees.
Day after day he was bringing less and less trees.

“I must be losing my strength”, the woodcutter thought. 

He went to the boss and apologized, saying that he could not understand what was going on.

“When was the last time you sharpened your axe?” the boss asked.

“Sharpen? I had no time to sharpen my axe. I have been very busy trying to cut trees…”

Reflection:

Our lives are like that. We sometimes get so busy that we don’t take time to sharpen the “axe”. In today’s world, it seems that everyone is busier than ever, but less happy that ever.

Why is that? Could it be that we have forgotten how to stay “sharp”? There’s nothing wrong with activity and hard work. But we should not get so busy that we neglect the truly important things in life, like our personal life, taking time to get close to our Creator, giving more time for our family, taking time to read etc.

We all need time to relax, to think and meditate, to learn and grow. If we don’t take the time to sharpen the “axe”, we will become dull and lose our effectiveness. 

So.. do you think I'm work to hard mam ?
