Once upon a time, there’s an old carpenter. Because his physical condition and healthy, he decide to retired from his job in a construction company. Afterwards, he convey his wish to the company owner. Of course, because he won’t work again, he will lose his monthly wage to feed his family. But his decision is already final. He feels so tired, and need to rest to enjoy his day with his family.

The company owner feels sad, because this carpenter is one of the best carpenters in the company. Then the company owner ask the carpenter to build a house for him.

The carpenter approve this personal wish, but actually he want to quick immediately from his job. His heart isn’t thoroughly focused and work idly for this project. He use worse wooden quality to build this house.

Finally, the house is finished. But the result isn’t comparable with his capability. Unfortunately, his career is ended with the worst job that he ever made.

When the company owner come to see the house, he gives a key to the carpenter and says:
"This is your new house…a little gift from us.. from the company.."

The carpenter is shocked, he’s so shame and regret. If he knew that he built a house for his own home, ofcourse he would do his best. Now, he have to stay in a worst house that he built with his own hand.

Sometimes, the narratiion above often happen in our life. A lot of us, build our live with less spirit or even least. We choose to endeavour disrectionary, and not to do our best even in our important part of life. In the end of journey, we are shocked when we see what we have done and find ourself live in a life that we’ve built with our own hand. If we realized this matter earlier, maybe we will have a different story… a better life.

Imagine that we are the carpenter, the house that we build, each day we hit the hammer, set the board, build the walls and roof… Lets finish our tasks as best as we can. Assume that every task is our last work, and we have to do our best to finish it.

Despite we only have a day to life, then… in that single day we deserve to live with greatness and dignity.

So… what are we waiting for? our tomorrow life is the result of effrontery and choice that we make this day. THe owner of the Judgement day is God, not us.. so make sure that we are also included in His conquest front.

live and life, is a single project which is done by our self. 

hopefully useful.
