In 1666, a huge fire destroyed St. Paul’s cathedral in London (and half the city with it). Prominent architect Sir Christopher Wren took on the challenge of leading the rebuild. The story goes that one morning, as he visited the job site, he walked among the workers, asking them all the same question: “What are you doing?”
The first said, “I’m cutting this stone.” The second said, “I’m earning three shillings and six pence a day.” And the last one said, “I’m helping Sir Christopher Wren to build this great cathedral.”
Three ways of looking at the same job.
