Ordinarily this would not interest me at all even though I have flown in and out of there a few times in the past. I was interested to learn that it deals with four and a half million International passengers a year. That is nearly a quarter of the whole population of Australia, which is impressive to me!
Otherwise, I would not normally be interested at all and certainly not enough to have even normally read the article! No, not normally, but now my interest there is through my son, who worked as a draftsman for an Architectural firm doing some of the Architectural work there.
So, through my son was only a minor link-peg in the whole chain, I can claim a connection (even if only a very small and tenuous one) with this major work.
Pathetic, isn’t it? But, how often do you do the same? How often do you claim a connection to something you have no real interest in or any real connection too, but just want to share the reflected Glory from whatever connection, no matter how slender or trivial?
It seems we all wish to be connected, albeit ever so slightly, to something big and look for ways of doing that and sometimes neglecting things that what we should be doing, that which we are good at, and that which needs doing, just because we don’t deem them big enough to attract the attention we desire.
Well, sad as it may be, not all of will ever do big things or even one so-called big thing! No we may never do anything big, or even play a part in something big like this, but all of us can continue and do what we are doing in a big way, can’t we? Sure we may never get the fame, glory or admiration of the masses, but we can at least get satisfaction for doing what we can, can’t we?
Remember we may never get the attention of the masses, but if we do our jobs properly people will notice. On the other hand, if we don’t do our jobs properly, many more will not only notice but comment on it too, won’t they!
