“Give me six hours to chop down a tree , and I will spend the first four sharpening
the axe.”Abraham Lincoln once said. Although four hours seem to be quite a long
time, it can help people chop down the tree more smoothly and less laboriously in
the rest two hours. It is obvious that a full preparation can enhance the
efficiency of trees-chopping.
The saying aims at informing us of the significance of adequate preparation.
Definitely , we can’t emphasize the importance of full preparation too much
in our pursuit of success. A full preparation enables us to achieve our objectives
and realize our dreams more smoothly and rapidly. The more preparation we make, the
more likely we are to become confidence, reduce the risks of failure and seize the
fleeting opportunities. For example, when graduates hunt for jobs, it is those who
are well prepared that can surpass other candidates and get the offer finally.
Accordingly, at no time should we overlook the power of preparation. Besides, we
need to set up a proper goal, carry out a full investigation and elaborate a detailed
plan before we take actions. “Preparation breeds success.” Benjamin Franklin also once said.
