It is not what you do but how well you do it is the true essence of life. There are many who are ashamed of their jobs or profession and aim at something else which they may not be able to do as well as those they are cut up for. Have you ever been tempted to do what you are not cut up for just because you see others doing them so well? While at school we had to sing this song, every single day
Do What You Do Do Well lyrics by Ned Miller: He couldn't move a mountain nor pull down a big oak tree / But my Daddy became a mighty big

That is important for all of us to remember ... to do everything as well as we can.

I do what I know what to in best capacity. I am glad that some people is successful in their fields but I am not envious to the point that I will what they do.

It is foolishness to attempt to do something we are not good at.

I saw your title and immediately burst into song my Dad used to sing it to me and brought me up on this philosophy. Thanks for the memory!

We had this system where we all got together and the Principal would make announcements and invariably we had to sing this after the school anthem

@allknowing we had school assemblies like that too. There's a popular NZ kid's song called School is Cool, kids of today love it.

Some people get jobs that are not in line with their passion and soon get bored!

But getting to like what we do is the art of living.
