A highly skilled carpenter who had grown old was ready to retire. He told his employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire.
The employer was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter agreed to this proposal but made sure that this will be his last project.
Being in a mood to retire, the carpenter was not paying much attention to building this house. His heart was not in his work. He resorted to poor workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career.
When the job was done, the carpenter called his employer and showed him the house. The employer handed over some papers and the front door key to the carpenter and said “This is your house, my gift to you.”
The carpenter was in a shock! What a shame! If he had only known that he was building his own house, he would have made it better than any other house that he ever built!
Complete your work as though it were your first job, the last job, the only job you'll ever do.!
Said the river to the seeker: 'Does one really have to fret about enlightenment? No matter which way I turn, I'm homeward bound.'"
That’s why it is so important that: "Whatever you do, you work at it with all your heart as though it were not man you serve but God, for Christ is the real master you serve"
From PetesPlace, I thank you all for your support and encouragement. We have the first batch of students, two of whom have ADD/ADHD, I will introduce you to Tom and Jerry (names changed to protect their identity) soon. An ex-colleague, currently employed in the US, has donated a laptop. We extend our grateful thanks for his loving contribution. We still need your financial assistance for the Projector & Sound System required for our class room presentations. My estimate is that if each of my IBO friends contribute just $2 it will help me get the amount required to upgrade our teaching aids. If, for some reason, you are unable to contribute financially, will be obliged if you could help and share this with your friends and associates. Thank you in advance.
