prepare enough

A man was in search of a job. He travelled cities till he found a job relating to his expertise. He was a woodcutter. 

His boss instructed the man to clear a bush about 100m of it. The boss expected him to take 7 days to complete the task. 

The woodcutter was given an axe which wasn't sharp. He spent days sharpening it.

The boss went away in expectation of coming back seeing a bit of progress.

After 4 days the boss came back and found that the woodcutter didn't even start. 

The boss was furious. He wanted to fire him. The woodcutter pleaded with the boss, I promise at the end of 7 days this bush would be cleared. 

The boss asked, what's the reason of you delaying the project? The woodcutter replied, "sharpening the axe".

The boss just gave him a chance. When he came back after 7 days, he found all trees down. 

He was shocked how come you complete the task that's requiring a week in just days and the woodcutter smiled and protested, "l took days to sharpen that it would be easy for me to get job done"
