Don't cut trees in winter

A young man used to cut down dead trees in the woods in winter for firewood. When spring came, he was surprised to find that all the dead trees he had cut down had sprouted green shoots. Then an old man said to him, "Remember, don't cut down trees in winter, because then you won't see life, and don't make decisions when you're depressed, because then you won't see the light of life."
