(18) Sharpening The Axe
Today's story takes us deep into the heart of the forest with two woodcutters, Hari and Prasad.
In our fast-paced, competitive world, many of us continue tirelessly working, often neglecting the crucial time needed for self-improvement, growth, and renewal.
The seventh habit in Dr. Stephen R. Covey's "7 Habits of
Highly Effective People" encapsulates this principle – "Sharpen Your Saw." It emphasizes the importance of renewing oneself in four aspects of life: physical, social/emotional, mental, and spiritual.
To sharpen your axe, you need to work as hard on yourself personally, as well as professionally. If you don’t spend that time and effort, you will be frustrated, disappointed, and possibly left behind. The people who learn to grow and improve become the best leaders.
Finally, remember, every day is an opportunity to sharpen your axe and work smarter, not just longer.
