Your Best Foot
Audio / Produced by The High CallingTranscript
Henry solved the world’s problems every day before lunch. Later he’d tackle the hard stuff. And he was sharp. Just ask him. No, wait: don’t ask him. Either way, he’d tell you.
Sharp as he was, Harry obviously wore thin. But he had some honest co-workers who valued him. “Henry, you’ve got a lot on the ball,” one said to him. “And we’d think more of it if we heard less about it from you.”
This is Howard Butt, Jr., of Laity Lodge, and to some degree, to talk about your abilities is to put your best foot forward. So master the difference between a foot forward…and a foot in your mouth…in the high calling of our daily work.
