Builders for an Eternity – Employees who really contribute at work

Builders for an Eternity – Employees who really contribute at work

I post this as food for thought. As a talent broker, someone who listens to people describe their work lives no matter how brilliant or mundane the career, there is the human element. Here is a poem by R. L. Sharpe that I’d like to share:

Isn’t it strange how princes and kings,
And clowns that caper in sawdust rings,
And common people, like you and me,
Are builders for eternity?

Each is given a list of rules;
A shapeless mass; a bag of tools.
And each must fashion, ere life is flown,
A stumbling block, or a stepping stone.


As we look toward a time in the year when we reflect on things that we are thankful for; I am privileged to work with some of the best and brightest minds in the healthcare, biotech, medical device and pharmaceutical industries. For the contribution of those whose careers and talent search needs have touched my life in this last year; kudos on what you are building for eternity.

Happy and healthy hiring.

One common person at a time building eternity.
Success by design.
