“Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.†- Abraham Lincoln.
One of the most famous – and famously attributed – quotes often attributed to Abraham Lincoln is “Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.†It’s a great quote. It succinctly sums up one of the most important pieces of advice: always take the time to prepare and sharpen your tools before you use them.?
When it comes to any task, big or small, it's important to take the time to prepare properly. Rushing in without a plan or taking shortcuts will only make the job harder in the long run.
It's easy to get discouraged when looking at a daunting task ahead, but if you break it down into smaller steps and take the time to prepare, you'll be much more likely to succeed.
So, next time you're facing a big project, remember Lincoln's words and take the time to sharpen your axe.
Nevertheless, the quote is a wise one. Spending time preparing and planning before starting a big project can save a lot of time and effort in the long run.
