John, a woodcutter, worked for a company for five years but never got a raise. The company hired Bill and within a year he got a raise. Then John resented Bill’s getting a raise after only a year and went to his boss to talk about it. The boss said, “You are still cutting the same number of trees you were cutting five years ago. We are a result-oriented company and would be happy to give you a raise if your productivity goes up.” John went back, started hitting harder and putting in longer hours but still wasn’t able to cut more trees. He went back to his boss and told him his dilemma. The boss told John to go talk to Bill. “Maybe there is something Bill knows that you and I don’t.”
John went to meet Bill and asked how he managed to cut more trees. Bill answered, “After every tree I cut, I take a break for two minutes and sharpen my axe.

If I had six hours to chop down a tree,  I'd spend the first four hours
