Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and choices today
So enjoy the story here it goes......
This is a story an elderly carpenter who had been working for a
contractor for many years. He had built many beautiful houses but
now as he was getting old, he wanted to retire and lead a leisurely life
with his family. So, he goes to the contractor and tells him about his
plan of retiring. The contractor feels sad at the prospect of losing a
good worker, he agrees to the plan because the carpenter had indeed
become too fragile for tough building work. But as a last request, he
asks the old carpenter to construct just one last house.
The old man agrees and starts working, but his heart was not in his work
anymore. He had lost the motivation towards work. So, he resorted to
shoddy workmanship and constructed the house half-heartedly. After the
house was built, the contractor handed over the front door keys to the
carpenter and said; this is your new house, my gift to you. The carpenter
was shocked and upset. Had he known that he was building his own house, he would have done a better job! Now, he would have to live in the house,
which is not worth staying.
Think of yourself as the carpenter. You work hard every day, but are you
giving your best? We put our least to the work we don't like or do not
have interested in. Later, we get shocked at the situation we have created
for ourselves and try to figure out why we didn't do it differently.
Enjoy your tasks and carry on your responsibilities with pleasure and not
with pain. Life is a do-it-yourself project. Do your job enthusiastically
and with devotion, a positive output and a pleasing life will certainly
be on your way...
