Hi,
This week, I would like to share with you the story of a carpenter and the efforts he had put in to build a house.......

The Carpenter and The Way He Built The House
Anonymous (Source: Internet Info)
There lived a carpenter who worked for several years under a contractor. Having no satisfaction in what did, he wanted to quit his job. So, he told his employer that he wanted to leave the house-building business to live a more leisurely life.
The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go & asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favour. The carpenter agreed, but over time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way, but he could not put in his best efforts. When the carpenter finished his work, his employer came to inspect the house. Then he handed the keys of the house to the carpenter and said, "This is your house... 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, with a shock, we realize we have to live in the house we have built. If we could do it over, we would do it much differently. But, we cannot go back. We are the carpenter, and every day we hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Someone once said, "Life is a do-it-yourself project. Your attitude and the choices you make today help build the 'house' you will live in tomorrow. Therefore, build wisely.”
To your continued SUCCESS,
With love and regards,
Siva
