The Wise Use of Time

Two men cut wood all day long. One worked straight through without stopping to rest. At the end of the day, he had a sizeable pile of logs. The other would stop for 50 minutes and then take a ten-minute break. At the end of the day, he had a much larger pile. "How could you chop more? " asked the man whod worked continously. His friend replied, "when I stopped for rest, I also sharpened my ax" (Thoman B. Welch,Jr.)

Most people thought that by working really hard and depriving themselves of rest thinking if they work twice as hard on a longer period without rest...they'll gonna increase their chances of success. Little did they know that having such rest would increase the flow of their creative juices and renew their strength thus would improve their performance. We don't need to push ourselves to the limit - what good would you get if you've been working for years, earning a lot for yourself without resting...but losing your health? You'll just gonna spend your hard earned money to have your health restored. Slow down...take a break...and enjoy the beauty of the flower once in a while...
