Sharpen The Saw

A man stands in the forest with his wood saw and begins to saw at a large tree with the hopes of conquering it and bringing it down quickly. He saws and saws and saws and saws… and saws. Soon the man begins to tire and his blade becomes blunt.

A woman is walking through the forest and approaches the man sawing down the tree.

 “Your saw is becoming very blunt my friend. So you are not making any progress on cutting that tree down. Why don’t you take a quick break, get your breath back and sharpen your blade. Then you will have that thing down in no time!” 


The man responds;


 “I don’t have enough time to stop and sharpen my blade. Can’t you see I’m too busy cutting this tree down!?”

Sometimes it’s easy to get so caught up in our work, our career, our current project, that we forget to sharpen our own saw. We continue to plug away with everything we’ve got every single day, and we become ‘too busy’ for all the things vital to ensure our very productivity.

Whist you are busy changing the world, remember; it is ok sometimes to take a break. Take a week away to refresh your mind, body and enthusiasm. Take a long weekend to clear your brain and come back fresh and present. Even take a step back from your work for 5 minutes, glance at it from another perspective and give your thoughts a chance to align.

You’ll never ‘find’ the time to sharpen your saw. You must make the time. Once you do your productivity and success will increase exponentially.

At around 5:30 pm yesterday evening.....I was so so sleepy and a little moody myself..It just came so sudden that I felt sad and left out...I wonder why..I don't have girlfriend nor wife or even mistress to fell that....I was sad for no reason?Well probably I knew what was the reason....

Meanwhile...I was thinking of my dinner...I decided to give it a go at a random pick...so I did...went to nearby restaurant and saw this Chicken Rice...saw the chicken calling me.."Wel...I'm sexy..I'm hot...I'm tasty..I'm soft..buy me and feel me....." Well..it was not the chicken actually..that could be my beiol mind trying to persuade my appetite of destruction...yes! it was a success and I bought it and felt the chicken in my mouth to my stomach...

Around 6:00pm..I was still with that moody feeling of mine...trying to ignore the feeling...I then watched the Heroes Ep 5...done with that..I had nothing more to do....went to visits some of my fellow blogger...and still..it didn't help at all...usually, at this condition of me..I would rewatch my favourite anime or movies.....the likes of Initial D...Slum Dunk...romantic humor movies will be the top in my consideration....however, because of the sleepy feeling...I then decided to watch this movie called "20 years after"..I don't really know what this movie is all about..it was downloaded last weekend...tried to watch it 3 times already but I seemed to fail and it helped me to sleep..the movie must be really darn fucking boring huh..I haven't even watched more than 30 minutes..already my eyes were shutting down...woke up, it was already past 1 hour or more...the time was almost 8:30..the movie has already finished...surfed the internet and at 9:00pm I decided I better go to sleep..and I really did....9:40pm I was already in my dream....I dreamt of something serious today and it has something to do with my moody feeling earlier...It is so wonderful sometimes that we can dream about the things that matter the most in our mind huh...although the dream was not happy but it shows me that how that feeling would effect and affect my emotion in the near future...should I believe what I had dreamt about or should I just enjoy it...this time, I will try not to think about it more than I should..it is not ignoring nor denial to me...it just that I would not want thing get messy in my head and it is not a priority in my life...maybe it is only me that thinks the feeling were real and perhaps it is only me that thinks that way....feeling huh..sometimes very deceiving...haha..

Now at 3am in the morning (I woke up at 2:14am)...writing this down is just a way of letting it go...telling the world that I'm just a human that can have feelings as well as dreams...I don't know what am I going to do now....this is one of the reason I don't prefer to sleep early..If I continue my sleep then perhaps I can have another nice dream or perhaps I will be more moody during the day due to oversleep..haha...I will think of something la..I wish that someone were here and friend me masak magi or have a decent chat...haha..What?! I'm also human that can ada 'manja' juga ba..hahaha...darn it! 1 more hour to go I will get ready for work..huhu..Again..do not let your emotion spoil your day!!!! Motivation ba tu...
