This is an image of network cables running to their terminations, and it is an imagine of pristine workmanship. Actually, it’s workmanship that has risen to the level of art.

Excellent workmanship is a thing of beauty; and such things are important. We all need to create excellent things that we can look at and say, “I made that.” It’s a necessary pleasure, even if not much appreciated in some circles.

Before wading back into the mundane, remember something you made well, of whatever type. Appreciate the fact that you put something good into the world… something that wasn’t there before. We are supposed to experience satisfaction and joy, and we are supposed to enjoy those feelings… they inspire us to do more things very well. Producing excellence matters.
