A short story about the Necessity of Method
One man who was walking through a forest when he came across a frustrated lumberjack. A lumberjack was trying to cut down a tree with and was swearing and cursing as he laboured in vain.
A man who was watching asked: “What are you doing?” “I’m cutting down this tree.” – the lumberjack replied.
The man was unabashed. “You look exhausted! Take a break. Sharpen your saw.”
The lumberjack tiredly said “I don’t have time to sharpen the saw. Don’t you see I’m too busy?”
