Sharpening the saw is like Investing in yourself. This always yields the best results!
Pedro and Juan were competing who could cut the most number of trees 🌳. Pedro was a muscular guy while Juan was a skinny guy.
Pedro immediately started cutting trees with his machete because he wanted to win the competition.
He was able to cut 2 trees fast but as time went by, he slowed down. He couldn’t cut anymore no matter how hard he tried.
Juan, on the other hand, managed to cut 6 trees and he won the competition. 🏆
Pedro asked him, “How did you do it?”
Juan answered, “I spent time sharpening my machete before I cut a tree 🌳”…
By sharpening his machete, he was able to cut down trees more efficiently, and it won't take as much effort.

It emphasizes the significance of self-care, balance, and continuous self-improvement.
