When I was in Secondary School, there was one subject in which I was excellent, but only one. (For English, as an example, I could manage a D. But very often when people hear me speak English, they are surprised at how I got a D. Did I bribe the teachers?) I was an A grade student in that subject. Then came the last exam in matric. I got a C. What happened? I mixed-up the answers to four different 80-point questions, with disastrous consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was this guy who was a very good woodcutter. During the annual woodcutting competition, everybody expected him to win. And he did \u2013 by quite a margin. But in the end, he didn\u2019t get the prize. No prize at all. He was disqualified. Why? He was cutting in the wrong forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, make sure you are in the right forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many people are \u201ccutting trees\u201d, but when they get to death’s door they realise they were cutting in the wrong forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
