THE JOB'S TOO SMALL
There was a missionary in China whose talents and abilities were so outstanding that one of the American companies tried to hire him. They offered him an attractive job with a salary to match, but he turned it down. He told them that God had sent him to China as a missionary.

Finally he said to them, "It's not your salary that's too little. It's the job that's too small!"
