I really enjoyed this essay about finding fulfillment and pursuing excellence in one’s job:

The car in front of us had slowed down, signaled, pulled over toward the shoulder, and made a smooth right turn into a shopping complex. Bob [the driving instructor] was impressed. ‘See how nicely he positioned that car?’ He explained to the girl that that was exactly how it was done. And then a while later, long after the moment had passed, he said quietly, more to himself than to either of us, ’I really liked the way he did that.’
