Stop to sharpen your ax- and keep your eye on the goal

Heard this inspirational story- thought I'd share.
Two wood-cutters had to split a cord of wood. One wood-cutter worked non-stop and even watched the other repeatedly took several breaks. In the end, the continuously hard working wood-cutter did not finish first. When asked the second wood-cutter how he could take breaks and still finish ahead, he replied, " Every time I stopped to rest, I also sharpened my ax."
Happy Monday everyone.
