A man was asked to paint a boat.
He brought with him paint & brushes & began to paint the boat a bright red, as the owner had asked him to do.
While painting, he noticed that there was a small hole in the hull, & quietly repaired it.
When he finished, he got paid & he left.
The next day, the owner of the boat came back to him & presented him with a nice cheque, much higher than the initial payment for painting.
The painter was surprised & said "U've already paid me for painting the boat Sir!"
The man replied, "But this is not for the paint job. It's for having repaired the hole in the boat."
The painter exclaimed, "Ah! But it was such a small service... certainly it's not worth paying me such a high amount for something so insignificant."
The man said, "My dear friend, u do not understand. Let me tell u what happened.
When I asked u to paint the boat, I forgot to mention about the hole.
When the boat dried, my kids took the boat & went on a fishing trip.
They did not know that there was a hole & I was not at home at that time so that I could stop them.
When I returned & noticed they had taken the boat, I was desperate & in great distress.
Imagine my relief & joy when I saw them returning from fishing.
Then, I examined the boat & found that u had repaired the hole! Can u see now, what u did? U saved the life of my children! I will never have enough money to pay ur 'small' good deed."
So, no matter who, when or how, just continue to do all ur work with great love & passion. Don't do it for the money but do it with the intention to provide service excellence to the creation of اللَّهُ Subhana wa Ta'ala. Give off ur best efforts to help, heal,sustain, wipe tears, listen attentively & to carefully repair all the 'leaks' u find.
U may never know how ur one act of kindness can change someone's world or even save a life.
In every moment of our service to others whether it be through the work we do, or feeding & looking after our families & communities, اللَّهُ Subhana wa Ta'ala presents us with opportunities to be helpful & important to someone. Don't let these opportunities slip by.
Keep on giving the best of urself to everyone. U may have repaired numerous 'boat holes' along the way of several people without realizing it & in their joy & appreciation of what u did for them they may have sent an abundance of good wishes, thoughts, love, care & duas.
Also don't consider any act menial or tiny . Every single thing that u do holds a mighty & great weight especially if u intend doing it all to please اللَّهُ Subhana wa Ta'ala & to serve Him.
