Stephen Covey

Simplified Meaning:

Imagine using a dull saw to cut wood—it would take forever and be really exhausting. But if you take a break to sharpen the saw, the task becomes much easier and faster. This quote is about taking care of yourself and making sure you’re in good condition to do your work or handle challenges. Just like the saw, you need to rest, relax, and refresh yourself. For example, after hours of studying, taking a short walk or getting a good night's sleep can help you learn better when you return to your books. By keeping yourself well-rested and balanced, you'll be more effective and capable in everything you do.
