Narrow vision is the root of fatigue. Many times, we only see the people and things in front of us, and we can only understand the simple truth, and we can't rise to a broader space.

Although age cannot be suppressed, learning ability does exist. If you have no ability to learn, you will be eliminated sooner or later.

The origin of "sharpening the knife and cutting wood by mistake"

Two woodcutters, Ade and Achaia, went up the mountain to cut wood together.

You must go to bed early and get up early to get to the firewood cutting place at dawn. Ade thought, "If you cut one more bundle, you will get one more income. I have to get up early tomorrow and arrive before dawn. " When Cai came home, he took the time to sharpen his knife and prepared to go up the mountain with the grindstone the next day.

The next day, Adeby Achai went up the mountain first. He went all out from the beginning and never dared to rest for a moment. Although Achai went up the mountain late, he cut firewood faster than yesterday and soon caught up with Adebayor's progress.

At noon, Cai stopped to sharpen his knife. He suggested to ed, "why don't you have a rest, too?" It's not too late to grind the axe first and then continue chopping. The children at home are clamoring for wild hawthorn, so we can pick some by the way. "

Ade refused Achai, thinking, "I don't want to waste time. When you are resting, I can take the time to cut more bundles of firewood. "

Soon the day was over again. Ade only cut six bundles of firewood, and Ah guessed that in addition to nine bundles, he picked some wild hawthorn to amuse the children.

Ed is confused. He couldn't figure out why he worked so hard, but he didn't cut as much as Cai.

On the third day, Ade tried to cut down trees while observing Akai's work. He couldn't see Ah Chai's secret, but he quickly cut in. Finally, Ade couldn't help but ask, "I've been working so hard that I don't even have time to rest." Why do you chop more and faster than me? "

A Cai looked at him and smiled: "Besides skill and strength, what is more important is the axe in our hands. I often sharpen my knife, the blade is sharp, and of course I cut more wood; You never sharpen your knife. Although it may take more effort than me, the axe is getting dull, and of course you cut less firewood. "
