mr. Chris smiler an elderly carpenter
00:23
who was ready to retire he told his
00:26
employer of his plans to leave the house
00:29
building business to live a more
00:32
leisurely life with his wife and enjoy
00:34
his extended family now he would miss
00:37
the paycheck each week but he wanted to
00:42
retire the employer was sorry to see his
00:45
good worker go and asked if he could
00:48
build just one more house as a personal
00:51
favor
00:51
the carpenter agreed and started working
00:55
on the last project of his life since it
00:59
was his last project he worked
01:01
half-heartedly he said goodbye to
01:04
overtime he did not consider to find the
01:09
best cement mixture he did not consider
01:12
having a swimming pool in this project
01:15
he did not use quality wood for doors
01:19
the furniture was not a good quality the
01:23
employer called the carpenter in his
01:25
office and gave the keys of this newly
01:28
built house to the carpenter saying this
01:32
is my gift to you feel such a
01:34
commendable service over 15 years
01:37
the carpenter was shocked what a shame
01:41
if he had only known he was building his
01:44
own house he would have done it all so
01:46
differently so it is with us we build
01:50
our lives a day at a time often putting
01:54
less than our best into the building
01:56
then with a shock we realize we have to
02:00
live in the house we have built if we
02:03
could do it over we would do it much
02:05
differently but you cannot go back
02:08
you are the carpenter and every day you
02:11
hammer a nail place aboard or erect a
02:14
wall someone once said life is a
02:18
do-it-yourself project your attitude and
02:21
the choices you make today help build
02:24
the house you live in tomorrow
02:26
therefore you should build wisely
02:46
you
