Once upon a time, there was an old farmer who had two sons. One day, he called his two sons and said to them, "I'm old. Cough, I don't have enough physical strength. It's time to retire. Cough, there are many firewood knives behind the door. Choose one and go up the mountain to cut firewood." The eldest son said to his father, "Dad, you have a good rest at home. My brother and I will cut firewood, right?" "Yes, my brother and I can do it well," echoed the younger son. Without delay, the eldest son thought as he went up the mountain: I must go up the mountain early and cut more firewood to make my father happy and become an example for my younger brother. The younger son thought: the knife has broken several holes and rusted. I should grind the knife first. So the younger son knocked on the door of the neighbor's mother's house and gently asked, "Aunt Wang, can you lend me your sharpener?" Aunt Wang politely replied, "well, the grindstone is leaning against the wall. Go and get it yourself!", "Thank you". The little son said that and hurried away. The eldest son was sitting on the ridge to rest. He said to himself, "this boy, don't come to cut firewood, wait to be scolded." when the younger son sharpened his knife, it was already afternoon, he said: "it seems that I have to hurry up. The eldest brother may have cut a lot." So the younger son began to work and sharpened his knife all morning. Can you be unhappy? After a while, the younger son cut two loads of firewood, while the older son cut only a small load of firewood. The eldest son went home sweating and carrying firewood. As soon as the eldest son came home for a while, the younger son came back. The father asked his younger son strangely, "why do you cut more firewood than big brother when you go up the mountain later than big brother?"‘‘ If the knife is not sharpened, how can it cut faster and more? " The younger son replied proudly. After hearing this, his father smiled with relief and said with great sincerity, "yes, as long as you have prepared the tools and mastered the methods, you can get twice the result with half the effort."
Sentiment: to accomplish a thing, you don't have to start immediately. Make some planning in advance, analyze the feasibility and make full preparations, which will greatly improve the work efficiency. Generally speaking, whether a person can do something or not depends not on how much expectation and enthusiasm you have, but on what methods, skills and means you use. As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your weapons, soldiers and horses, and food and grass first. That's the truth.
