A HABIT YOU SIMPLY MUST DEVELOP IN YOUR LIFE

[@tarvoc746]

I'm the exact opposite of this. I spend so much time sharpening my axe that I sometimes forget to use it.

If i had 6 hours to chop down a tree. I would spend the first 4 hours sharpening the ax. ~ Abraham Lincoln. 16th President of the USA.

[@linkinl1]

I would rather go by the 80\20 rule. So 1 hour sharpening and 4 hour working. The sharpening of a tool is only used to set the direction you want to go in. The working is where the true learning happens, it is here that we try and fail, therefore learn.

Thank you! I'm 46 years old. I've been a social worker for half those years. You have inspired me to do something more.

It's comments like these that keeps the channel making more videos. Thanks!

7 habits! I think this is habit that makes the rest work. Just found your channel. Great stuff man!

I wish my parents told me this story when I was a child. They didn't, thanks for making this video now I know it and will pass this on to future generations.

[@GeekyMino]

Wow super awesome story, amazing animation. I really liked the analogy with Michael, the axe, the trees and the wife/kid. Great work as usual! This is like the 7th habit of highly successful people (Sharpen the Saw) 😄

[@ProjectBetterSelf]

Exactly! The same concept as the 7th habit - constant growth and learning is important! Thanks for sticking around BSE :)

[@GeekyMino]

I enjoy your videos very much! Your way of clearly conveying ideas through well planed animation is exceptional. It’s good being here😄Btw congrats of hitting the 10k subs milestone😁

I needed this video. I've felt exactly like this man that keeps chopping away but gets less efficient over time. It all makes sense now that I need to sharpen my skills if I want to find happiness in my work. Thank you for making this video!

[@Lifestarterpack]

That was a great metaphor with the axe and the tree! I love your channel! Keep up the great work :)

[@habibakhouder7353]

I can't just say thanks! literally every video of This channel discusses and solves many troubles I face which makes me feel so much better, great effort guys!

[@ProjectBetterSelf]

Glad these videos helped you in some way.

[@thekimfamily1380]

Really some of my favorite videos on self improvement, development and psychology. Truly, an amazing format to present your ideas for everyone to share and grow on.

[@skul_is_live]

omg, this is so true, we are so busy doing things that we care about, we work hard to achieve them but when we fail by the same amount of hard work or don't progress we saturate so , take a step back and think about what is wrong or what can we learn new about our work this is how we progress :)

Its said that the old China Town was planned through 20 years and built through 60. And the cathedrals built in Europe, at a simmilar time, took 5 years ti plan and 100 to build(or something like that)

[@ronniesunshine1163]

I've spent all my time sharpening my axe that it has turned into a chainsaw but I'm still scared to chop down the trees because I don't know how the techniques of how to make the tree fall a certain direction or how to cut properly and I feel like I'm, going to injure myself. (I have knowledge and basic skills but I don't have the practical skills that actually allow me to start making money)

[@kaleidophon]

Good vid. Tip: LESS is used for non specific values. e.g. less time, less rain/wind/snow, less motivation etc. As opposed to FEWER, which is used for distinguishable items, e.g. fewer trees, fewer dogs, fewer people care about language these days. Keep up the good work.

The story hit me like truck kun and now I m isekaied

[@themightyray5911]

This videos for the most part aren't wrong, but they kind of lack emotionality I think, or even let's say "love" which is a strong factor that can actually get to people^^ edit: Maybe it's just me but these videos kinda give me a bit of anxiety and stress to perform (right) maybe that's normal and that's how it's supposed to be and that's life, but it kinda feels like for me it kinda might not work for me because while in theory it might not be wrong, it kinda seems not to be the right approach. I think the sober tone of the video may be part of this. I guess I must find my own way to approach things, life doesn't work the way that you can just watch a video and this will then change you or idk its not easy but we all shall try and then we will find a way

[@hanz4850]

how are you creating the animations? i teach a class of children and ide like to use the software, great video btw!

[@ProjectBetterSelf]

Hey Sam. I am using a software called VideoScribe. I use blackboard background and I use font called Amatic SC. If you have any more questions feel free to send them this way.

[@razus97]

I recently discover your channel, and i love it. But there is something i want to tell. The rules and psicology you show is so good, i mean, theres things to help people to improve. But the esthetics and how some things are said... looks... like capitalist. I mean, in the videos ive seen the objectives used to be the work, the social status, the money etc. These doesnt mean the things you said arent real and useful to work in studies, music, or visual arts but looks like it transmit the idea that a formed man should be the typical capitalist winner with a family and estable economy. In anyway, thanks fot your videos!!
