The Daily Question
What is the best work
you ever watched someone do?
Not on television. In real life, close enough to see how it was done.
A plasterer finishing a ceiling in one long, even pass. A nurse who settled a frightened old man without once raising her voice. A teacher who brought a room of thirty back from the edge with a single look. Somebody on a till who handled the worst customer of the day as if he were the best.
Most of it was never filmed, never praised and never written down. The person doing it probably went home thinking it had been an ordinary shift.
You remember it because you knew, even at the time, that you were watching somebody who was very good at something.
So — what is the best work you ever watched someone do?
