A story that has changed my life
A story that has changed my life Posted By: Sureshkumar Once upon a time, a very strong woodcutter asked for a job in a timber merchant, and he got it. The pay was really good and so were the work conditions. For that reason, the woodcutter was determined to do his best. His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he was supposed to work. The first day, the woodcutter brought 18 trees "Congratulations," the boss said. "Go on that way!" Very motivated for the boss' words, the woodcutter try harder the next day, but he only could bring 15 trees. The third day he try even harder, but he only could bring 10 trees. Day after day he was bringing less and less trees. "I must be losing my strength", the woodcutter thought. He went to the boss and apologized, saying that he could not understand what was going on. "When was the last time you sharpened your axe?" the boss asked. "Sharpen? I had no time to sharpen my axe. I have been very busy trying to cut trees... I think you have already got the point from the above story. Many Jobseekers do the same mistake. Its not atoll a hard thing to find various job requirements on internet but to get a job what exactly you have to do is Sharpening your axe. What does that mean? If you are a fresher instead of keep on applying for jobs first focus & improve your skills on Aptitude, Reasoning, GD, HR & puzzles etc. If you are really good at above topics you need not worry about getting a good job. My dear friends, today many more are rich in this world because not they are rich in money from childhood but they are rich in Attitude. Attitude, that creates an altitude in your life. It doesn’t matter how much % you got in your previous degree or in which college you studied. It’s all about focusing on your weaknesses by introspecting yourself. Turn your weaknesses into strengths. Winners don’t do different things but they do things differently. Finally to make a difference, to reach your goal what all we need is Burning Desire, Determination, Dedication, Positive attitude & commitment. Replies: Posted By: Hussain Hi!
