Know Your Why…
Part 2
A story is told by John C. Maxwell of a man who came across three
bricklayers busy at work. The man asked the first bricklayer what he was doing.
“I’m laying bricks,” the worker replied. He then asked the second bricklayer
the same question. “I’m putting up a wall,” he said. The passerby then asked
the question one more time, this time to the third bricklayer. The response: “I’m building a cathedral.”
As this story illustrates, three different workers can do the exact
same task but for very different reasons. The first may have labored
exclusively for the paycheck. He saw his work as exactly that, a task that
needed to be completed regardless of the outcome. When the bell rang, he was
out the door. The second was likely motivated by a sense of completion and was
proud that his bricklaying would result in the construction of a wall. Perhaps
he would add a few extra minutes here and there in order to see the goal to
completion. But the third was no doubt driven by a deep desire to fashion a
religious structure that would enhance worship and bring glory to the divine.
Every brick was a step towards that grandiose vision and aspiration. No doubt
that such a person would do whatever was needed in order to see his glorious
visualization come to fruition.
I pray that our staff sees their “why” as more than “laying bricks” or
“putting up a wall”! Educators who see themselves as “building cathedrals” are
providing the foundation and supporting beams for each of our students to build
their best future!
