the carpenter...

There is a story that relate to our life as student. As student, we should learn the moral value of this story.

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire as he wants to live a more leisurely life with his wife and enjoy his extended family. He told his employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house-building business. Although he would miss the paycheck each week, but he wanted to retire. That is his last decision. They could get by. 

The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and the contractor asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but over time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work as before. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end a dedicated career. 

At last, the carpenter finished his work. When the carpenter finished his work, his employer came to inspect the house. Then he handed the front-door key to the carpenter and said, "This is your house... my gift to you."

The carpenter was shocked! 

What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. 

The moral of the story is whenever we are doing our work or as student we have too many assignment, we should put more effort on it.

So it is with us. We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting less than our best into the building. Then, with a shock, we realize we have to live in the house we have built. If we could do it over, we would do it much differently.

But, you cannot go back. You are the carpenter, and every day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Someone once said, "Life is a do-it-yourself project." Your attitude, and the choices you make today, helps build the "house" you will live in tomorrow. Therefore, build wisely! What ever you do in this everyday life, do it with you fully heart…
