"If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well."
Martin Luther King, Jr. Minister - civil rights activist (1929-1968)
Not many workers sense that they have a calling for their particular job. However, think how wonderful it would be to do business with an organization in which every worker considered their job to be one in which they were called or designed to perform. In other words, their job mattered and they mattered in that job to the level that they performed above and beyond what was expected. Experiment for one week to work above and beyond (not more hours) as if you were called or designed just for your current job.
