Motivational Story: Our Actions Today Are The Result Of Yesterday

An old carpenter intends to retire from his job at a real estate construction company. He conveyed his wish to the owner of the company. Of course, because he did not work, he would lose his monthly income, but the decision was unanimous. He was tired. He wants to rest and enjoy the rest of his old days in peace with his wife and family.

The company owner was sad to lose one of his best workers. He then begged the carpenter to make a house for the last time.

The carpenter shook his head affirmatively to the personal request from the company's owner. But, in fact he feels forced. He wanted to stop soon. His heart is not fully poured out. He reluctantly worked on the project. He just uses the materials sekedarnya.

Finally finished the requested home. The result is not a good house. It's a shame he had to end his career with a performance that is not so amazing.

When the owner of the company came to see the house he asked for, he handed him a key to the carpenter's house. "This is your home," he said, "a gift from us."

How surprised the carpenter was. How embarrassed and sorry. Had he known that he was actually working on the house for himself, he would have done it in another way altogether.

Now he must live in a house that is not very good results of his own work.

That's what happens to our lives.

Sometimes, many of us build our lives in a confusing way. Prefer the effort of measure rather than strive for good. In fact, the most important parts of our lives do not give the best.

At the end of the journey, we are surprised to see what we have done and find ourselves living in a house we create ourselves. If we had realized it from the beginning we would live this life in a much different way.

And in the end, it's so late!

Ponder that we are the carpenter. Reflect on the house we are building. Every day we hit the nails, put up boards, set up walls and roofs.

Let's finish our "home" as best we can as it does it once in a lifetime.
