I watch so many people struggle today doing the jobs they do. It’s so obvious their mind is not on completing the work at hand and sadly for them, this half-minded effort makes being there miserable.
Yesterday I had the opportunity to observe a couple of guys doing construction work, stucco, to be exact. It’s not an easy job, bucket after bucket of concrete mix, plastered to the wall. They worked in near perfect harmony and seemed very happy as they performed the tasks, mixing the concrete, getting it to the roof level three stories above the ground, masking off and covering up to protect other work, it was like a well oiled, well-tuned machine and the amount they got done was amazing.
There are times we need to work like a machine.
