Read the passage given below :
1. SHARPEN YOUR SAW
Once a carpenter went looking for a job. He approached a building contractor,
and got a job at a decent salary and good working conditions. The carpenter
was thrilled and determined to do his best. His boss provided him with tools
and showed him the place where he was supposed to work.
At the end of the first day, the carpenter prepared fifteen doors. His boss
became very happy with his performance and congratulated him. The
carpenter tried harder the next day but he was able to prepare only 10 doors.
The third day he tried even harder, but he could prepare only seven. Day after
day he was preparing less and less doors.
"I must be losing my strength," the carpenter thought. He went to the boss and
apologized, saying that he could not understand what was going on. "When
were the last time you sharpened your tools ?" the boss asked. "Sharpen ! I
had no time to sharpen my tools. I was busy trying to prepare doors," said the
carpenter.
