Sharpen Yourself

Verified by Emotional Intelligence Developer Community-written · Human experiences · Lived insight

A staple logger must regularly sharpen his axe so that it does not dull. A hunter must retighten his bowstring before use. A writer should routinely knit his pencils. They have to update their equipment. This is a simple principle about productivity. 

There are not many trees that can be cut down by a blunt axe. No game can be conquered by an old bow. No word can be written from a broken pencil.

So with that, we must hone ourselves to keep achieving a full and abundant life. We have a body figure that must be old eroded by age. Also intelligence that may be left behind due to the progress of the times. And a fist of conscience that is easily blurred by the dust of the world.

Therefore, we must take care of the body so that it is always a comfortable home for the soul. We need to hone our minds and skills so that they can always be used to open the door to prosperity. Also, we must sharpen the conscience that allows us to hear this song of happiness of life.
