Just want to share this story I heard a while ago:
Two woodcutters, Leo and Max, were competing to see who could chop down the most trees in a day. They started together, axes swinging within earshot of each other. But after an hour, Max noticed that Leo had stopped. Puzzled, he kept going.
Five minutes later, Leo was back at it, only to stop again an hour later. This pattern continued throughout the day—Leo would chop for a while, then take a short break. Max felt confident he’d win, thinking Leo’s “start and stop” approach was costing him valuable time.
But at the end of the day, Max was shocked to find Leo had felled more trees.
“How did you do that?” he asked. “I didn’t stop once, but you kept taking breaks!”
Leo replied, “I stopped to sharpen my axe.”
Sometimes, taking time to recharge or refine your approach can make all the difference. 0 reply
