Finally, one day Jon asked a friend for some advice. “I don't understand. I try so hard but I can't get up in the company.”
最后有一天，強向一位朋友尋求忠告，“我不懂，我這么努力，在公司卻沒辦法上升。”
His friend looked serious and asked, “When was the last time you sharpened your axe?”
他的朋友表情認真地問，“你上次磨利斧頭是什么時候的事?”
Jon looked at his friend as though he was crazy and said, “What are you talking about?”
強看著朋友的表情好像他是瘋子，并說，“你在說什么?”
His friend replied, “When was the last time you took courses to upgrade your skills? You work in a competitive industry. If you don't update your skills, you will fall behind.”
朋友回答，“你上次什么時候去上課提升你的技術(shù)?你在競爭的產(chǎn)業(yè)里工作，如果你不更新你的技術(shù)，就會落后。”
Jon felt silly and laughed “I have spent all of my time trying to cut trees with a dull axe. All I needed to do was sharpen it!”
強覺得自己很傻，大笑，“原來我一直在拿一把鈍掉的斧頭砍樹木，卻忘了需要磨利它!”
