Keil, Maybe we could work together for the millionaire. This was great food for thought. I think we need to evaluate this for everything in life--am I the kind of roommate that is helpful, am a the kind of friend that I want to have, am I the kind of student that teachers would like to have etc. This is an area that I need to work on for sure. Thanks for the insight
It's kind of like President Uchtdorf's talk last April in Conference: "The Way of the Disciple." HE speaks about how living the gospel isn't equivalent to a spectator sport. You can't sit there from the sidelines pointing out everything that everyone else is doing wrong. You yourself need to get off the couch, dust the potato chip crumbs off your own shirt and DO something to improve yourself. I like what Ephraim said. We can ask ourselves how successful we are in the various roles we carry.
So your post really got me thinking; what kind of an employee am I? Right now, I'm doing an internship for the special collections department of the library in which I set my own hours and pretty much come up with my own work. Sometimes I get bored with my work and perhaps don't spend my hours in the most productive way. This post has inspired me to become a more committed worker and constantly seek opportunities to help our my employer.
