However , Richard got e raise within the first twelve months. Allan was disappointed and decided to approach the management of the company. He was told that his production had never increase over the last ten years. On the other hand Richard had cut more trees in the periods of one year. The company however promised to give Allan a raise if his production goes up. He went back to work and tried harder but unfortunately his result did not improve. One day he happened to meet Richard and decide to get Richard's advice. Richard told Allan that after he cut down a tree, he would take a short break to sharpen his axe. Allan suddenly realized that he was too busy cutting down trees that he failed to take a break to sharpen his axe.
