a thought provoking story from Rich Farris

There was an architect, an engineer, and a musician standing on the street.
The architect turns to the others and says, "Do you think what I do is important? I don't feel like our clients care what we do."
The engineer replied, "Doesn't really matter. The inspector loved the work and blessed it all. It's safe to use, therefore, mission accomplished."
The musician looked up at both of them and said, "I've been playing this song for 10 minutes. It's a song that I've been working on for over 10 years--my personal masterpiece. And the best you guys can toss in my hat is 15 cents?"
