Respect of Work

Different people do different kinds of work. All kings of work important. Some workers build our houses, some grow food for us, some clean our streets, and some mend shoes and some sell things to us. Some of these workers are poor and uneducated hence they have to do these jobs.
What if they stop doing their work? There are so many tasks we cannot do ourselves. Can you imagine how difficult and uncomfortable live would became? We must be kind to them because like us, they too are God’s children and yet they do our work. To respect work and the workers whatever the work may be is called dignity of labour. There have been many great men who showed great respect for all work, however low. We can learn a lot from the examples that they have set.
