(St.Paul’s Cathedral,London)
After the great fire of 1666 that destroyed London, the world’s famous architect, Christopher Wren, was asked to rebuild St Paul’s Cathedral.
One day in 1671, he observed three bricklayers at the project site.
To the first bricklayer, who was bent over Christopher asked,
“What are you doing?”
He replied,
“I’m a bricklayer. I’m working hard laying bricks to feed my family.”
This bricklayer looked tired and was way behind in his work.
The second bricklayer,who was half standing responded,
“I’m a builder. I’m building a wall.This wall will be a foundation for this building and will protect everyone who will be inside ”
But…
The third brick layer, who was standing tall when asked “What are you doing?”replied with a smile and said
“I’m a cathedral builder. I’m building a great cathedral to The Almighty.
Where people can gather together,pray and celebrate the LORD.
He was the most productive of the three.
What has this got to do with Layers Farming?
3 Lessons
1. Big Picture Thinking
Have the ability to see the end result of what you are doing and how your work contributes to it.
Look beyond the daily chores.
Instead of just feeding hens and collecting eggs, envision how your layers farm helps solve the chronic problem of malnutrition in Africa—from families and school children to local restaurants.
2.Attitude
Having a positive attitude and pride in what you’re doing will show up in your work and your motivation.
That belief and pride in your layers chicken farm will definitely show in how you handle your suppliers,customers and even chicken!
This will provide more motivation to keep you in the game long enough to be successful.
3.The power of purpose
The cathedral builder shows a personal expression of purpose that gives higher meaning to his work.
You’re not just selling eggs—you’re feeding families, empowering small-scale farmers, and improving food systems.
