Italian folklorists tell the story of three workers cutting stones in the hot sun. When the first was asked what he was doing, he replied, “I am chipping these stones to make them just the right size.” The second replied, “I am earning my wages.” To the same question the third replied: “I am building a cathedral.”

  • being too “hands-off”
  • being too friendly
