Working Together for a
common Goal
Why are you here?
◦ “Everyone has his own specific
vocation or mission in life;
everyone must carry out a concrete
assignment that demands
fulfillment. Therein he cannot be
replaced, nor can his life be
repeated. Thus, everyone's task is
unique as is his specific opportunity
to implement it.”
― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for
Meaning
Why am I here?
◦Life beyond
these doors
Questions?
◦You have to be wondering about
something…
