A. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.
An elderly carpenter was ready to retird. He dia his employer of his plans to
leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his family He
would miss the pay cheque, but he needed to retire. The employer was sorry to see his
good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The
carpenter said 'yes', but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He
resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior material. It was an unfortunate way
to end his career.
When the carpenter finished his work, his employer handed over the key of the
house to the carpenter— "This is your house, my gift to you."
What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own
house, he would have done it all so differently! Now he had to live in a poorly built
house. So it is-with us. We build our lives, a dayat a time, often putting less than our
best into the building. Then, with a shock, we realize we have to live in the house we
have built. If we could do it over, we would do it much differently. But, you cannot go
back. You are the carpenter, and every day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a
wall. Someone once said, your attitude, and the choices you make today, help build the
"house" you will live in tomorrow. Therefore, build wisely!
