It must have been quite the moment in 1922 when Howard Carter first peered through a small crack into the antechamber of King Tutankhamun’s tomb.
I do love this exchange between Carter and his sponsor, Lord Carnavon. You can almost hear the amazement and astonishment and excitement in Carter’s voice.
Occasionally, just occasionally, I’m smart enough to stop the rush, step away from my own busywork, and take a look around at my world and my life.

Gosh what a week it’s been. We’ve been working very hard to have the world notice Do More Great Workand I think we’ve had some small success with it. Hurrah!
And that’s in no small part due to the support we got from friends and colleagues, for which I’m most grateful. Or I have indigestion. But I think it’s gratitude.
With a sudden flash of understanding why they start playing music at the Oscars when thank you speeches go on too long, here’s an incomplete list of people who’ve helped along the way

One of the great blessings of writing Do More Great Work was inviting some people I admire greatly to contribute to the book. Inviting them, and being accepted.
This coming week I feature Great Work interviews with some of the contributors to Do More Great Work.
