I remember once, when I took my daughter ice-skating, that I noticed a gentleman ensconced in a corner behind the rental counter, sharpening the blades on the skates of one of the children. What made the scene so memorable was the intense concentration of this gentleman as he went to his work; no Olympic medalist ever had her skates prepared with greater attention to detail. It was remarkable to reflect, as we sat by the side of the rink and watched the children twirl and glide around the ice with varying levels of grace, how all of their artistry was made possible by that gentleman’s hidden devotion to his craft.
