If most of us worked with this philosophy, can you imagine what could be accomplished?  It would be pleasant to work with others with the same philosophy.  This would make the work place less stressful, even when the tasks are so daunting!  It would make each person feel valued and that their contribution was needed and appreciated.  Each task completed would be done correctly (hopefully) and would not need to be re-done.
This can and should be carried into the home as well... or maybe it should have started there.  Growing up, we always heard "a job worth doing is worth doing well" and I often find myself analyzing a task either at work or home and thinking if I am going to put energy into it, I want to do it once and be done when possible.  I don't like going back to a completed task, if I have finished it, I want it all tied up, filed away and easy to find.  I have yet to find that space in my world-- filed away and easy to find... but I am working on it.  I hope that my autograph is always excellent and when it is not, I want to be gracious enough to see where I need to improve.  This quote was a great reminder today and I wanted to share it.
