Toscanini's Dedication

Story★★★★

Toscanini On the eightieth birthday of the famous musician and conductor Arturo Toscanini, someone asked his son what he considered to be his father’s greatest achievement. He replied, “For him there can be no such thing. Whatever he happens to be doing at any moment is the biggest undertaking of his life, whether it be conducting a symphony or peeling an orange.”

The point

Toscanini's son reveals his father's greatest achievement: his ability to give complete attention to whatever task occupied him at any moment, making the ordinary transcendent.
