Story goes like this.
Two tree hackers were determined to beat one another @ chopping a tree down. They both took a tree that was same size and height to keep alls even. As they both boost and brag about who's gona win and whose gonna loose a friend of there's shouts out, "will you two just come on with the come". Lets do this!
So they both approach the tree and take a stance. Seconds later the friend starts his clock and announces, "GO"!
The first hacker is hacking away like a mad man!!CHOPCHOPCHOPCHOPCHHOPCHOPCHOPCHOP-CHOP!
The second hacker is making graceful chops. Chop ------ Chop ------ Chop ------ Chop!
The first hacker looks over 2minutes into it and says to the second chopper, "you might as well quite rite now, you chop like an old man". Second chopper responds with a soft smerk and gentle smile on his face continuing his slow and percise chops.
Ten minutes past and the first hacker is hacking breathlessly and still frantickly screaming into every stroke like a mad man. Meanwhile, the second hacker stops to sharpen his axe, and get some water. First hacker looks over and says, "are you serious, i'm @ least 50 chops ahead of you there is no chance for you quite now!" Slowly the second chopper approaches the tree again this time with a facial expression like Micheal jordan in the 4th quater, poised yet aggressive in strategy. CHOP to the left, CHOP to the right, CHOP CHOP to the middle. This carries on for another 5minutes and then he stops again. You can hear the axe being sharped deep into the forest like nails dragging on a chalk board. The first hacker yet and still chopping but at a much rather slow and aggressive pace! He's tired but he won't let his pride get in the way of changing his strategy, so he chops and he chops.
Second hacker comes back, except this time he took a bit more time sharping that axe. He immediatly jumps in a stance with the perfect posture and starts to make short/quick timely chops. Like chop chop chop chop chop chop chop. He has found a new grove and ryhtm meanwhile the first chopper has feel out his rhythm. Next thing you know, the second chopper yells, "TTTTTIIIMMMMBBEEERRRRRR"!!!! Then you hear a loud thump as the tree crashing in the ground, BOOM!
The first hacker looks over in shock and disbelief. How in the hell did you beat me, you took many more breaks than me and you didn't chop as much as me? How did you do it?
How did he do it?
Well let me answer that question and give you the logic of the story. We as people sometimes we want something so bad we are willing to go the extra miles, do extra things, sacrafice our health to reach our goals in a timely fashion. The hacker figured out the game of life. Don't mistake more time and more effort for more results! They key is to have strategy and to step back sometime, rest and sharpen our axes-(our minds) before we can go back out hacking away! Consistency is the key! If we do our best on a consistent basis we see huge results by default!
hope you enjoyed
