Rest Smart

Once there were a group of man - a young hot-blooded guy and a big
number of old folks, doing timber job in a jungle (i.e. chopping down
trees).

This young chap is very hard working. He always continues to work
through his break time and complains that those old folks were wasting
time, having to break few times a day to drink and chat. As times goes
by, this young guy noticed that even though he worked thru' break time
and hardly took a rest... those old folks are chopping the same amount
of trees as he did and sometimes did more than he did. It was as if
those old folks work thru' the break time as he did. So he decided to
work harder the next day...unfortunately the results were even worse.

One day, one of the old folk invited him for a drink during their break
time. That young guy refused and said he has no extra time to spend!
Then the old man smiled to him and said It was just a waste of effort to
keep chopping trees without re-sharpening your knife. Sooner or later
you will give up or be so exhausted as you have spent too much energy.

Suddenly the young man realised that actually during break times while
those old folks were having a chat, they were also resharpening their
knife at the same time! And that's how they can chop faster than him and
yet spending lesser time! The old man said What we need is efficiency by
making use of our skill and ability intelligently. Only then can we have
more times to do other things.

Otherwise you will always keep saying ... I have no time!

The morale of the story:
By taking a short break during work, it would make you feel fresher,
think well and work better after the break!

But by taking a break, it is not to stop work but to rest and re-think
our strategy to go about it from another angle.

Think smart, work smart and rest smart.
