Is
it just me, or does the craftsman standing on the bench look ready to
knock out the other two with his tool? Here's a guy who knows his stuff
- an expert in his field - yet these folks insist on telling him how to
do his job. Now there's absolutely nothing wrong with expecting
something to be done a certain way when you've paid for it. But, people
who have no proficiency and knowledge in the area concerned shouldn't
tell a professional how to
do the job. As the saying goes, "too many cooks spoil the soup." Stop
trying to take charge of everything and allow the poor guy to do what
he's great at doing.
From the Rumi Cards:
From the Rumi Cards:
It is certain that an atom of goodness on the path of faith
is never lost.
is never lost.
Do
the kindnesses I do really make a difference? Does any of it really
matter? I suppose in the big picture of things, the answer would be
no. But then I think of the story of the little boy, walking among
hundreds of starfish washed up on a beach, who attempted to toss them
back out to sea before the sun dried them. A man, seeing the
overwhelming number, told him he would never make a difference. The boy
held up one starfish, and before throwing it into the water said, "It
does to this one." And who knows, maybe there will be a
kindness done or some encouragement given to that one in particular who
will paint the next masterpiece, find a cure for cancer, or eliminate
world hunger...
