Three people were laying bricks. A passerby asked them what they were doing.

The first one replied, "Don't you see I am making a living?"

The second one said, "Don't you see I am lying bricks?"

The third one said, "I am building a beautiful monument."

Here were three people doing the same thing who had totally different perspective on what they were doing.

They had three very different attitudes about their work. And would their attitude affect their performance? The answer is clearly yes.

This happens to us all the time, when we go to office and boss give us a work some do becuase they need to do; some do becuase it is their work and some do becuse it is helping company to achieve its goal.  And this make a big difference in quality of work
