A carpenter(木匠) wanted to stop his job. He told his boss((老板) about his plans and his wish to live a happy life with his family. The boss was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house. The carpenter said yes. But it was easy to see that his heart was no longer in his work. He just wanted to finish building the house as soon as possible.

When the carpenter finished his work, his boss came to check 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 very surprised! What a pity! If he knew he was building his own house he would do it all so differently.

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

However, you cannot go back. You are the carpenter, and every day you put something in the house. Someone once said, "Life is a do-it-yourself building. What you think and what you decide today help build the"house"you will live in tomorrow. So, build in a clever way!
