I have this saying up in my office at work. I find it to be sadly true of my work as an educator: “We, the unwilling, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, for so long, with so little, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing.” ~ Mother Teresa.

That's pretty much true with a lot of professions like the medical staff, physicians, former city workers, and those immigrant workers out in the fields keeping our produce cheap.

One who is a do-er rather than a talkabout doing-er.... the 'can do' attitude can work the impossible.
