Quality of Work
Quality of Work:
Once a Mason was working with a contractor.
He had years of experience in house building. He is planning to retire and leave a leisure life with his family.
So, he informed the contractor about his plan. The contractor felt upset about the retirement of his most experienced person.
He requested him to build just one more building before he could retire.
Mason agreed with the contractor and started his work. But he is not giving his 100% towards work like he used to do it before. There were many deviations from the plan, and the quality was not up to the mark.
After some months, he completed the house.
The contractor came and inspected the house. He looked all around the house and called the mason.
The contractor said, “This house is a gift for you for all the great work you have done for all these years.”
Mason was surprised. But he was not happy. He was ashamed of himself for the quality of work he put in on this house.
If he executed the work the same way as his previous buildings, the gift he received would have been more precious than right now. But now, he has to accept it as the way he built it.
Moral of the Story
The situations in our life keep on changing. Irrespective of the challenges, we have to give the best in our work.
We need to have a positive attitude and seed quality of work today, which will reap good fortunes in the future.
Never work to satisfy others. Instead, we put in our work so that we are satisfied. It will lead to a better life tomorrow.
