Articles: Moral Stories | Life is a do-it-yourself project

A story for you.... Nice one to start the day...
An elderly carpenter 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 pay check, but he needed to retire. They could get by.
The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favour. The carpenter said,'yes', but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He restored to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end a dedicated career.
When the carpenter finished his work, the employer handed the front-door key to the carpenter.'This is your house,' he said,'my gift to you'. The carpenter was shocked! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently.
So it is with us. We build our lives,a day at a time, often putting less than our best into the building. Then w ith a shock we realise we have to live in the house we have built.
We are the carpenters. Life is a do-it-yourself project someone has said. Our attitudes and the choice that we make today, build the house we will live in tomorrow. Build Wisely.
Remember:WORK LIKE WE DON'T NEED THE MONEY,
LOVE LIKE WE HAVE NEVER BEEN HURT,
DANCE LIKE NOBODY IS WATCHING!!!!
IF A JOB'S WORTH DOING,
IT'S WORTH DOING WELL!!
Life is short; make it Sweet---------> Be Happy !!!
