Pearl S. Buck, author of The Good Earth, once said, “To know
how to do something well is to enjoy it.” The more I see of life, the more I am
convinced she was right about that. If you enjoy doing something, such as
playing a sport or a musical instrument, it is only natural that you will find
more opportunities to do it again and again. The more practice you get at
anything you do, the more you will excel. Even mundane tasks such as cooking,
cleaning or doing the laundry for your family can bring their own joy. You may feel required to do them at first, but as you persist in the doing, you find
there is pleasure in doing them well. There is a satisfaction that comes with bringing order to disorder, and it is made even sweeter when someone notices and comments on the
effort you have made.
