Story by Elder Uchtdorf of a time when he was a boy and had to work very hard at a job he didn’t really like. But later in life, he realizes that if he hadn’t worked as hard as he did then, his life would have turned out very differently.

The moral of his story being, quote:

“We don’t always know the details of our future. We do not know what lies ahead. We live in a time of uncertainty. We are surrounded by challenges on all sides. Occasionally discouragement may sneak into our day; frustration may invite itself into our thinking; doubt might enter about the value of our work. In these dark moments Satan whispers in our ears that we will never be able to succeed, that the price isn’t worth the effort, and that our small part will never make a difference. He, the father of all lies, will try to prevent us from seeing the end from the beginning.” (Dieter F. Uchtdorf)
