There was a newly
joined woodcutter and the king was really impressed by his dedication towards
his work. Out of encouragement, he started giving his best in work and cut 18
trees in the first month and the king was glad.
The next month he put in the same effort but could cut only 15
trees. And the third month, he still tried his best but could cut only 12
trees. The king visited him the third month and talked about his decrease in
productivity.
He explained
that he might have lost his strength or got too old to do the work. The king
asked him “when was the last time you sharpened your ax?” To the surprise, he
has not even done it once in the last three months. That was the only reason
why he couldn’t cut more trees.
Moral: It is good that you put in
a lot of effort and hard work to work towards your goals. But you should
balance your life priorities and invest time with your family and save some
time to relax which would boost up your productivity.
These are just a
few among the many motivational stories that guide students to work hard on
many aspects of life and grow successful. Such inspirational stories can help
students to keep moral values in life despite whatever life offers them.
