Oh, thank you, Grunt. I loved making it. Working at a computer company and ignoring their laughter as I made it on index cards that I arranged by crawling around on the floor. They were all so afraid they were losing John. He was just back from bypass surgery and fragile. They needed so badly to be able to tell him what he meant to them all. At the party there was just pure joy in the room when everyone could actually tell him that. I’ve never had the good fortune before to see people gather to celebrate someone they loved so much.

Something about your video had me thinking.
Everyone was so excited, did not appear to be about money or power?
Happy yes, but also something else.

Today’s WSJ had a review of a book by David McCullough, looked interesting.
Looking around, I saw this quote:

“Real success is finding your lifework in the work that you love.”
David McCullough

There it is!

You and your coworkers found something very special in your work.
It comes across in your video.
Thank you for sharing.
