Three Bricklayers

Three hard-working bricklayers were once asked what they were doing. Their replies said a lot about them and the goal that each was pursuing! The first answered, "Well, I am laying bricks, as you can see! I strive for perfection and for a fair wage, a days work I'll guarantee!" The second retorted, "Well, I am making $17.50 an hour! I've been a mason for twenty years and have a heap of staying power!" The third replied, "Well, I'm building a cathedral for the glory of the Lord! I strive for eternal significance in all I do and expect little worldly reward!" All three were doing the same job, yet each had a different point of view! Perhaps the moral of this tale is to strive for eternal value in all you do! Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired © All Rights Reserved
