Yearning

"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather the wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea." Antoine de Saint Exupery

You can do that by having passionate people. When someone is passionate about what they do, it gets done better and with more enthusiasam. If you don't like what you do and you are doing it for the paycheck or because you have to the results are often much less productive than when you love your job and go to it each day with renewed enthusiasim...The church needs passionate people.
