We Are Craftsmen

We are craftsmen.

Not in the way the world means it now.

But in the old way.

Craft: From the Old English “craeft” — strength and skill.

The members of a skilled profession.

Skill in carrying out one’s work.

The question is…

Are you a craftsman or just a laborer?

A craftsman doesn’t just complete a task.

He builds it. Shapes it. Sharpens it.

He takes pride in the work.

Because the work is him.

And in this job — that difference matters.

Because “good enough” isn’t good enough.

Practice your craft.

We are craftsmen.
