The Lumberman Erikson

Assalamualaikm and dear my buddy..
There is a young lumberman, named Erikson, whose his work every day is toppling trees , he is just a newbie for this kind of job but he is really happy in undergoing his days as a lumberman because he is well-paid for that and he has a nice and attentive boss.. a battle axe is his weapon escorting him in completing his days as well.
And at five o’clock after working hours , he will shout : ‘’hurray… hurray.. I made the cut and I call it a day!! ”
In his first few months, he can topple 8 trees in a day.. and it is always that way for about next 4-5 months …. For this good job, he always get a praise from his boss saying genuinely like this : “your work is so superb that I admire you a lot, keep up this good work ok?!!”
Lumberman Erikson is really motivated for the praising from his boss….
Nevertheless, coming to the 6th months, he can be able to topple 6-7 trees in a day only.. he is grumbling :”well, it seems to be decreasing but it is not too bad, may be I just unlucky because the trees I’ve got to cut down have a hard bark and wood”
Day by days.. he tries to work harder than ever to improve his productivity, but at the end, it doesn’t pay off… the more the days he passed, the number of trees toppled are decreasing..
‘Have I lost my ability and my power?’ lumberman Erikson was in his monologue of silent.
‘How can I account for my job to my boss??’ and afterward.. with a bowing head he faced his boss, and apologized for his weakness and complained since he didn’t have any idea about how it could be.
Then the boss, after listening to his subordinate, proposed him a question? The boss said :”when was the last time you sharpen your battle axe??”
Having for an unexpected question, Lumberman Erikson petrified in shock ..
Ladies and gentleman
Believe it or not, unconsciously we are lumberman for our own works, and the things such as: paper, documents, reports or complains we deal with are the trees… we’ve got to complete it with limited time provided, from 8 am – 5 pm ….
From the story above, we witness that lumberman Erikson is a really high-motivated lumberman, but as the time passed, he just felt something decreasing that he didn’t know how it could be until his attentive boss reminding him of sharpening his battle axe…
Well ladies and gentleman… as lumberman Erikson decided to sharpen his battle axe, we also need to do the same, we need to revitalize our eagerness and refresh our mind, because it is an undeniable fact that one day in our working periods we will be on our own nadir, we don’t know exactly when, but when we are having this, all the things before us are something annoying, no matter weather they are non-living or living things,

Instead of blaming for some one or the condition over this thing, actually, we had better take a look at ourselves first, we need to admit that we are in a need to take a rest from all the routine, I am used to going outside to kill my boredom, may be going to some place offering a new and different view is very good for us, because it releases our mind from the business and gives it such a freshness and new sensation to feel, by doing so, we are giving a chance for our mind to take a rest and feed it with a nutritious input so that our spirit to work and our willingness to come with a sincere devotion will get sharper .
Ladies and gentleman ..
The boss, having his subordinate in shock and confuse, just give an advice for him by saying this : “do you still remember when the first days you work, you can topple many trees, because your battle axe so sharp that there is no doubt about that… but you never sharpen it, you just force it to topple and topple from trees to trees, that is why it turns out to be dull, what you need now is to take your time to sharpen it, and take a rest also for a couple a minute to empower yourself again, and afterward just go back to your work..”
Then the lumberman Erikson nodded : “well, sir, I’ll do it and thanks for your advice”
Ok ladies and gentleman.. the thing needed to be understood is when we are taking a rest, it doesn’t mean that we stop, but actually at that moment we are preparing ourselves for having further steps. Not to be hesitate to take your time to feed your mind and feel the sensation of the freshness and eagerness..
