MAN ENOUGH FOR THE JOB? No duty is too small for great men.
There is an incident told of the first American War about an officer , who had his men cutting down trees
to build a bridge. The process was going very slow. He did't have enough men to get the job done in
a timely manner.
MAN ENOUGH FOR THE JOB ?
The officer was doing nothing to help, but kept urging the soldiers to work faster.
Up rode a man on a horse and inquired about the situation and was told by the officer, he
did not have enough men to do the job. Why don't you help, asked the man on the horse ?
Well, I am a Corporal was the reply.
Getting off his horse the other man lent a hand and the job was finished.
He then mounted his horse and said to the Corporal , the next time you have a job to be done ,
you better send for the COMMANDER IN CHIEF and I will come again.
It was General George Washington !
The moral of the story is, you never know who you are talking to.
MAN ENOUGH FOR THE JOB ?
I would never ask anyone to do something that I could do myself.
