"Our works do not ennoble us; we must ennoble our works"
- Meister Eckhart.
I came across these words at a corporate training program, and liked them enough to latch on.
It is easy to think school teachers and nurses do "noble work", and that plumbers, fork-lift operators, and corporate appartchiks like me, don't. Meister Eckhart's perspective feels more helpful, and more true.
