Challenge

We are challenged on every hand to work untiringly to achieve excellence in our lifework. Not all men are called to specialized or professional jobs; even fewer rise to the heights of genius in the arts and science; many are called to be labourers in factories, fields, and streets.



But no work is insignificant. All labour that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.

If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep even as Michaelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven and earth will pause to say, "Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well."
