People who seek to serve the community end up falsifying their work, she wrote, whether the work is writing a novel or baking bread, because they are not single- mindedly focused on the task at hand. But if you serve the work – if you perform each task to its utmost perfection – then you will experience the deep satisfaction of craftsmanship and you will end up serving the community more richly than you could have consciously planned.
