The story of the three bricklayers has been around forever. The reason it continues to be told is because of the monumental message it carries. The following is the story of The Three Bricklayers:
Once there were 3 bricklayers. Each one of them was asked what they were doing.
The first man answered gruffly, 'I'm laying bricks.'
The second man replied, 'I'm putting up a wall.'
But the third man said enthusiastically and with pride, 'Who me? Why I'm building the world's most beautiful cathedral.'"
Perspective IS everything. That is why I love this story!
Now let's fast forward 5 years. Which one of these 3 do you think is the most successful brick layer?
Most would choose the third man. Incorrect. Why? Because I'm pretty sure that man is no longer a brick layer. I bet within 2 years he became a general contractor and is now the architect who is designing those exquisite cathedrals.
Know this: Your attitude towards whatever you are doing will determine your success. Let your pride shine through in everything you do. See the BIG PICTURE. Focus on the potential of the end result and let your motivation drive you to it!
