THE IMPERFECT HOUSE

A master of construction already entered in years was ready to retire and enjoy his pension. He told his boss about his plans to leave the job to lead a more leisurely life with his wife and family. I was going to miss his monthly salary, but he needed to retire; and they would manage somehow. 

The chief realized it was inevitable that his good employee left the company and asked him, as a personal favor, to make the last effort to build another house. The man agreed and began his work, but he saw clearly that he was not putting his heart in what he did. He used inferior materials, and his work, like that of his aides, was lacking. It was an unfortunate way to put an end to his career. 

When the mason finished the job, the boss came to inspect the house and handed him the keys to the front door. "This is your house, dear friend said. It is a gift for you. "

If Mason had known he was building his own house, probably would have made totally different

Now he had to live in the imperfect house he had built! 

We build our lives in a distracted way, reacting when we should act, and without putting in that performance the best of us. 

Many times, not even we do our best at work. Then suddenly we see the situation we have created and find that we are living in the house we have built. If we had known earlier, we would have done differently. 

The conclusion is that we must think as if we were building our house. Every day we nailed a nail, got a wall or a roof we build. Build wisely is the only rule that can strengthen our existence. Even if we live only for a day, that day deserves to be lived graciously and with dignity. Life is like a draft it  yourself. His life now is the result of your attitudes and choices in the past.

Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and choices today!
