No Comments Getting Our Work Right
Story as told by Zig Ziglar
The dad was working in his home office and his little six-year old son wanted his dad to play catch with him.
About every five minutes the little boy would knock on his door and ask him to come out and play. The dad would say he couldn’t until he finished his work.
The fourth time the boy interrupted him the dad had an idea. He had a big picture of a world map on his desk. The dad cut it up into puzzle pieces and gave it to his son, telling him that when he finished putting the map together he would play catch with him.
The little boy took the pieces and started to work. About two minutes later, much to his dad’s surprise, he came back and said, “Dad, I am all done! Let’s play catch!” Amazed that the boy had completed it so quickly, he asked his son how he did it.
The boy said, “It’s simple, Dad. I noticed that there was a picture of a man on the other side of the page of the world, and I discovered that when I got the man right, the world was right.”

Getting ‘our work done’ to get ‘the man right’ must included the physical, mental, and spiritual areas. Skills and knowledge are important, but without character, discipline, the right mental approach and a good attitude, skills alone don’t get us far.
