Today's Inspirational Quote:

“There is only one caste, the caste of humanity. All of us belong to the human race, so everyone is equal. Therefore, love each one equally.” - Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Life is a Do-It-Yourself Project

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer-of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family. He would miss the paycheck, but he wanted to retire. The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials.

When the carpenter finished his work and the builder came to inspect the house, the contractor handed the front-door key to the carpenter. "This is your house," he said, "my gift to you." What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.

Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Build wisely. It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived graciously and with dignity. The plaque on the wall says, "Life is a do-it-yourself project."

Expand your knowledge base

I'm someone you love.
Exchange my head and tail,To examine me in detail;
My second be my tail,Then I will have guts to tell;
My head be taken off,Still you can't stop me in hearing your bluff. Scroll down for the answer ...
