Whatever Your Work Is, Do It Happily With Excellence

There is a story that when the famed English architect, Sir Christopher Wren, was directing the building of St. Paul's Cathedral in London, some of the workers were interviewed by a journalist who asked them, "What are you doing here?"

The first said, "I'm cutting stone for three shillings a day."

The second replied, "I'm putting ten hours a day in on this job."

The third replied,  "I'm helping Sir Christopher Wren build the greatest cathedral in Great Britain for the glory of God."
