Remember the parable of talentsthe story of the three servants who had received talents, five, two and one respectively? When their master returned they all gave account of their stewardship. The first two had doubled their capital. Each of them said so in sixteen words and their work was pronounced, 'Well done, good and faithful servant.' The third servant had accomplished absolutely nothing but his report took forty-three words, three times as long as each of the other two reports. Dont be like servant number three. Make good! Dont explain your failure! Do the thing you are expected to do! Then you wont have to explain why you didn't, couldnt, wouldnt, or shouldnt. Efficiency! That is the soul-satisfying joy of making good. Doing your work just a little better than anyone else gives you the margin of success. Making good required no explanation. Failure required forty-three words. Jean Jacques Rousseau		Wednesday Oct 22, 2025
