I once heard this on a podcast:
https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-mind-of-an-architect/
There is an old story of a person arriving at the pearly gates of Heaven and asking St. Peter for an introduction to the greatest general who ever lived. St. Peter points someone out and says, “There he is, the greatest general in the world.” The new arrival is shocked. “No way!” he exclaims, “That’s not the greatest general … that guy isn’t even a general. I knew him on earth and he was just a cobbler!” St. Peter responds: “I know. But if he had been a general, he would have been the greatest of them all.'
I hope to find my purpose some day.
