2014 IS THE YEAR OF SHARPENING OUR AXES

“If I had six hours to chop down a tree, I’d spend the first four hours sharpening the axe.”  Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln, arguably the most famous US president of all, was usually referred as Honest Abe. The guy was deeply honest about people and himself. No wonder he was such a successful person. The quote above makes it clear that we need to spend more time in sharpening our axes (skills), than the actual task itself. He meant 66 percent is to be dedicated for preparation and the remaining is doing the task itself. In 2014 make sure you get some kind of formal to enhance your dreams. If you have a certificate go for a diploma; if you've diploma go for a degree; if you have a degree go for a masters; if you've a masters, go for a doctorate; if you've a doctorate start again! Or you may choose to practice public speaking or make sure you volunteer some activity. You may never estimate how much you are going to accomplish if you follow this advice!
