..just a thought before hitting the day..

Sometimes, on TV I see tunnels and bridges being inaugurated. Usually, a lot of celebrities and local politicians stand in a line, in the centre of which is the minister or local governor, Then a ribbon is cut, and when the people in charge of the project returns to their desks, they find lots of letters expressing recognition and admiration.

The people who sweated and worked on the project who wielded pickaxes and spades who labored all through the summer heat in order to finish the job are never seen; those who did not work by the sweat of their brow always seem to come off best.

I want to be someone capable of seeing the unseen faces, of seeing those who do not seek fame or glory, who silently fulfill the role life has given them.

I want to be able to do this because the most important things, those that shape our existence are precisely the one that never show their faces. =)
