can you count the colours!

Update your skills-Pls read once


Once upon a time a very strong woodcutter asked for a job
with a timber merchant, and he got it. His salary was really
good and so were the working conditions. For that reason, the
woodcutter was determined to do his best. His boss gave him an
axe and showed him the area where he was supposed to fell the
trees. The first day, the woodcutter brought down 15 trees.
"Congratulations," the boss said. "Carry on with your work!"
Highly motivated by the words of his boss, the woodcutter tried
harder the next day, but he only could bring 10 trees down. The
third day he tried even harder, but he was only able to bring
down 7 trees. Day after day he was bringing lesser number of
trees down.
"I must be losing my strength", the woodcutter thought.
He went to the boss and apologized, saying that he could not
understand what was going on.
"When was the last time you sharpened your axe?" the boss
asked.
"Sharpen? I had no time to sharpen my axe. I have been very
busy trying to cut trees..."
Most of us NEVER update our skills. Sharpening our
skills from time to time is the key to success. We think that
whatever we have learned is very much enough. But good is not
good when better is expected. You cannot expect success
tomorrow, by working today with yesterday's tools.
