Who do you think is making the biggest mistake?

The lesson hidden behind the riddle
This fun exercise reminds us of a universal truth: it’s always best to pause before acting.
How often do we react impulsively, without analyzing the situation?
How often do we make a hasty decision that, with a little thought, could have turned out completely differently?

In everyday life, “sawing off the branch you’re sitting on” can take a thousand forms: accepting a project you don’t have time for, saying “yes” when you mean “no,” or ignoring a problem in the hope it will solve itself.

The key is to learn to observe before you act .

So the next time you have to make an important decision, think of this image: four kids, a tree, a saw… and one mistake that changes everything.

And you, did you manage to find the correct answer the first time?
