The Conference and the Lesson of Dutifulness
Dear friends, I’m about to share a tale from my past, a tale that taught me the importance of dutifulness. It was a lesson learned in an unexpected place – a conference.
Setting the Stage
Many moons ago, I found myself attending a conference in the bustling city of New York. It was a gathering of minds from all walks of life, each with their unique wisdom to share.
The Unlikely Teacher
Among the sea of attendees, one individual stood out. He was the janitor. A quiet man, he moved with a sense of purpose and dedication that was hard to ignore.
The Lesson Unfolds
One evening, as the conference was in full swing, a sudden power outage plunged us into darkness. Panic ensued. Amidst the chaos, the janitor calmly walked up to the stage, flashlight in hand. He navigated his way through the labyrinth of cables and, within minutes, restored the power. The conference resumed, and the janitor disappeared into the background, unnoticed by most.
The Epiphany
Reflecting on the incident, I realized the janitor’s actions were a powerful lesson in dutifulness. He had a job to do, and he did it with dedication, regardless of recognition or applause.
Applying the Lesson
Friends, we can all learn from the janitor’s example. Whether you’re a CEO or a student, a parent or a teacher, remember to perform your duties with dedication. It’s not about the applause or recognition; it’s about the satisfaction of a job well done.
Conclusion
So, the next time you find yourself in a situation where you’re questioning the value of your duties, remember the janitor at the conference. Remember that every role is important, and every duty performed with dedication contributes to the greater good.
Until next time, keep learning, keep growing, and remember to be dutiful in all you do.
Yours in wisdom,
Kev
