  An elderly carpenter was ready to retire.He told his boss of his plans to   1   the house business and live an easier life with his wife enjoying his   2   family, looking after their grandchildren.He would miss the   3  , but he really needed to   4  

  The boss was sorry to see his   5   worker go and asked if he could build just one   6   house as a personal favor.The carpenter agreed, but   7   it was easy to see that his heart was   8   in his work.He applied poor workmanship and used bad materials.It was a(n)  9   way to end his career.

  When the carpenter finished his work and the boss came to   10   the house, he handed the front door key to the carpenter.“This is your house,” he said, “my   11   to you.”

  What a shame! If he had   12   known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently.Now he has to live in the home he had built none too   13  

  So it is   14   us.We build our lives in an absent minded way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up   15   than the best.At important points we do not give the job our best   16  .Then with a shame we fall into the   17   we have created and   18   that we are now living in the “house” we have   19  .If we had realized it, we should have done it   20  

  Your life today is the result of your attitudes and choices in the past.Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and the choices of today.
