*The two lumberjacks*
It was the annual lumberjack competition and the final was between an
older, experienced lumberjack and a younger, stronger lumberjack. The rule
of the competition was quite simply who could fell the most trees in a day
was the winner.
The younger lumberjack was full of enthusiasm and went off into the wood
and set to work straight away. He worked all through the day and all
through the night. As he worked, he could hear the older lumberjack working
in another part of the forest and he felt more and more confident with
every tree he felled that he would win.At regular intervals throughout the
day, the noise of trees being felled coming from the other part of the
forest would stop. The younger lumberjack took heart from this, knowing
that this meant the older lumberjack was taking a rest, whereas he could
use his superior youth and strength and stamina to keep going.At the end of
the competition, the younger lumberjack felt confident he had won. He
looked in front of him at the piles of felled trees that were the result of
his superhuman effort.At the medal ceremony, he stood on the podium
confident and expecting to be awarded the prize of champion lumberjack.
Next to him stood the older lumberjack who looked surprisingly less
exhausted than he felt.When the results were read out, he was devastated to
hear that the older lumberjack had chopped down significantly more trees
than he had. He turned to the older lumber jack and said: “How can this be?
I heard you take a rest every hour and I worked continuously through the
night. What’s more, I am stronger and fitter than you old man”.The older
lumberjack turned to him and said: “Every hour, I took a break to rest and
sharpen my saw”
Which lumberjack are you right now in your walk?
