How can each of us add value that lasts?

VALUE ADDED

When we go through our list
of previous jobs and roles,
we tend to think of the title,
responsibilities and payment.
 
We may even reflect
on the people we worked with
and some of the work we did.
 
And if we keep going
we get to that same point
in every role, and hope that
we did something good,
something that lasts.
 
We also realise that our presence
becomes embedded as value added 
in the lives of others,
who after we leave, take their turn
and make their contribution.
 
So remember, our job outcomes
are realised long after we are gone.
And when we look back we see that
we did something good,
something that lasts.
