Attitude Is Everything! Positive Attitude Equals a Happy Life

>Attitude at Work

Back in the middle ages, a dispatcher went out to determine how laborers felt about their work. He went to a building site in France.

He approached the first worker and asked, "What are you doing?"

"What, are you blind?" the worker snapped back. "I'm cutting these impossible boulders with primitive tools and putting them back together the way the boss tells me. I'm sweating under this blazing sun. It's back-breaking work, and it's boring me to death."

The dispatcher quickly backed off and retreated to a second worker. He asked the same question, "What are you doing?"

The worker replied, "I'm shaping these boulders into usable forms, which are then assembled according to the architect's plans. It's hard work and sometimes it gets repetitive, but I earn five francs a week and that supports the wife and kids. It's a job. Could be worse, too."

Somewhat encouraged, the dispatcher went on to a third worker. "And what are you doing?" He asked.

"Why, can't you see?" said the worker as he lifted his arm to the sky. "I'm building a cathedral!"

Now that's the joy of working.
