A construction worker who specialized in building wooden houses was nearing his retirement, to also spend more time with his family. His Boss was upset that he was losing one of his faithful and devoted workers, so he asked him if could build one more house before retiring. The worker accepted even though his heart was not in this final project. He did not choose the best material, he didn’t do any overtime, and his usual enthusiasm was not there. It was OK, but nothing compared to the other houses he had built over the years. When he finished, his Boss called him in the office and asked him to sit down. Then he gave him an envelope and told him that the house he just finished is his – as a gift for the priceless service he has given to the company over the past 20 years. The worker was shocked. If he knew, he would have done much better for his last house. The same happens to us in our daily lives. Your entire life is a do-it-yourself project. The attitude you show, the choices you make and the determination you give yourself will help you build the house you will reside at in the future. So, be wise and build well.
