“Whatever job we undertake, we must be responsible. Start by taking responsibility for small tasks first. If you cannot handle small matters, you will struggle with larger ones. Whatever you do, you should do it to the best of your ability and with great attention to detail, as these qualities will follow you through every life and every rebirth. It is not difficult to find someone to work, but it is rare to find someone who takes responsibility with meticulousness and depth, who diligently follows up, inspects, and manages tasks after completion. Grandmother performed good deeds not to seek praise or admiration from others but to help herself overcome suffering.”
