Are you building or wrecking??

I read this poem today.

Incredible message about building vs wrecking. Check it out.

A Builder Or a Wrecker
As I watched them tear a building down
A gang of men in a busy town
With a ho-heave-ho, and a lusty yell
They swung a beam and the side wall fell

I asked the foreman, “Are these men skilled,
And the men you’d hire if you wanted to build?”
He gave a laugh and said, “No, indeed,
Just common labor is all I need.”

“I can easily wreck in a day or two,
What builders have taken years to do.”
And I thought to myself, as I went my way
Which of these roles have I tried to play'

Am I a builder who works with care,
Measuring life by rule and square?
Am I shaping my work to a well-made plan
Patiently doing the best I can'

Or am I a wrecker who walks to town
Content with the labor of tearing down?
“O Lord let my life and my labors be
That which will build for eternity!”

Author Charles Franklin Benvegar

I’ve worked with a lot of builders and a lot of wreckers. Sometimes I think they are both necessary.

I like building over wrecking or doing nothing.

I finally figured out my employment and I’ll be starting a new job where I’ll be a one man team. They want me to build. I’ve been at my current job for over 11 year and it sounds fun to start new!

Since my primary business is cabinetry and bathrooms. I do both, but it doesn’t take years or I’d be broke.
Good luck on the new job.

What I am building right now is a passive income that in 6 years, when I am 30, will generate enough income to live a comfortable life.

that from a passive point of view, but I also do a lot of active things to be able to build that passive income.
