C’era una volta un possente taglialegna in cerca di lavoro.
Dopo aver girato diverse città, il taglialegna trovò finalmente
impiego presso un importante commerciante di legno.
L’ottima paga e le eccellenti condizioni di lavoro convinsero il
taglialegna a dare il meglio di sé.
Il primo giorno il capo diede al nuovo arrivato un’ascia e gli
indicò l’area del bosco dove avrebbe dovuto lavorare. Al
termine della giornata, il possente taglialegna frantumò il
record degli altri dipendenti, raggiungendo i 18 alberi
abbattuti. Il capo si congratulò sinceramente con lui e questo
motivò ancor più il taglialegna.
Il secondo giorno il taglialegna lavorò con tutte le sue energie,
ma al tramonto gli alberi abbattuti furono 15.
Per nulla demoralizzato, il terzo giorno il taglialegna si
impegnò con ancora più vigore, ma anche questa volta il
numero di alberi calò: 10 unità.
Per quanta energia mettesse nel suo lavoro, giorno dopo
giorno, il numero di alberi abbattuti continuò a calare
inesorabilmente.
Mortificato, il taglialegna sì presentò dal capo scusandosi per
lo scarso rendimento.
Al che l’esperto commerciante di legno pose al suo
dipendente una semplice domanda: “Quando è stata l’ultima
volta che hai affilato la tua ascia?“.
Un po’ imbarazzato il taglialegna rispose: “Signore, non ho
avuto tempo per affilare la mia ascia, ero troppo impegnato a
tagliare gli alberi“.
