Pot-Luck-Humor - How well it was done!

 

How well it was done!

Three people were laying bricks.
A passerby asked them what they were doing.
The first one replied,
"Don't you see I am making a living?"
The second one said,
"Don't you see I am laying bricks and making a wall?"
The third one said,
"I am building a beautiful monument."

Here were three people doing the same thing who had totally different perspectives on what they were doing.
They had three very different attitudes about their work.
And would their attitude affect their performance?
The answer is clearly yes.

Excellence comes when the performer takes pride in doing his best.
Every job is a self-portrait of the person who does it, regardless of what the job is,
Whether washing cars,
Sweeping the floor
Or
Painting a house.

Most people forget how fast you did a job,
But they remember,
How well it was done.

If a man is called to be street sweeper,
He should sweep streets
Even as Michelangelo painted,
Or
Beethoven composed music,
Or
Shakespeare wrote poetry.
 
He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say,
Here lived a great street sweeper
Who did his job well.
