In the book
Meaning is purpose made personal. There is an old parable of three bricklayers, each asked what he is doing: one says he is laying bricks, one says he is putting up a wall, and the third says he is building a cathedral. Same labor, three different flights. — The Flight Plan (Purpose/Wisdom/Risk)
