Let me give you an
illustration: Two men were given a blunt axe each and a deadline of two days to
fell twenty trees each. One of the men felt that the deadline was too short and
went on straight to start cutting the trees with his blunt axe. The other man
took time to sharpen his axe before engaging it in cutting the trees. In a
short time, he fell about ten trees while the man with the blunt axe was still
on the first tree. Eventually, the man with the blunt axe suffered much and
achieved little, while the man who sharpened his axe achieved so much in a
short time because he decided to sharpen the cutting edge of his tool.

Beloved, sharpen your
mentality; update and upgrade yourself. Ensure that you are not outdated. The
degree of your brain you engage determines the level of your excellence on
earth. If you don’t update yourself, you will become out-dated in life. If you
want to go up in life, you must be an avid reader. Ensure that you are gaining
knowledge from books, CDs, etc. on a consistent basis. If you need to take
another degree, a course or training, do it. But by all means, never be
stagnant in life.
