Make things better by making better things.
We think that means going to work and putting on our hats to play doctor, janitor, or accountant. We don’t say that I have to go to work as a human being. We are so much more than the narrow label of whatever we do from 9 to 5 for money.
Who we are doesn’t translate to what we do in the confines of our modern world. A carpenter over the ages might have done work in exchange for goods.
