A SECRET
It isn't in doing your work, my boy, It isn't in doing the thing you must, That you win the honor and gain the joy, Or claim the profit or earn the trust, It isn't in laboring long and late, And it isn't the hurry and noise that tell ; The smallest thing that you do is great, If you do it well.
It isn't in getting it done, my boy, It isn't in getting it out of the way ; It is not in the methods you may employ, And it's not in the price that your masters pay ; It isn't in squandering precious tune, And it isn't in rushing ahead pell-mell ; If the thing that you do is to be sublime You must do it well. Sacred Heart Review.
