I love this story. It goes like this…
“A bricklayer has a brother who is a gifted and famous violinist. One day the head of the construction company he works for says to him: ‘It must be fine to have such a renowned man for a brother.’ Then, afraid he might offend the worker’s pride he adds, ‘Of course we must accept the fact that talent isn’t evenly distributed – even in the same family.’
The bricklayer responds: ‘That’s the truth. Why, my brother doesn’t know the first thing about bricklaying. It’s a good thing he can afford to pay others to build his house for him.'” (excerpted from The Best of Three Minutes a Day – A Christopher Book)
Yes!!! Cheers for the bricklayer!
