You may at
times be occupationally off-duty, but duty itself must always be on.
July’s Awakening, Day 25
Character is a by-product; it is
produced in the great manufacture of daily duty.
—Woodrow Wilson
Duty is a very personal thing. It is
what comes from knowing the need to take action and not just a need to urge
others to do something.
—Mother Teresa
Now
all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his
commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind. Ecclesiastes
12:13 NIV
Duty. Something that one is expected or required to do in
an obligatory or binding way that is of a moral or legal nature. In addition,
duty may be an action or task or conduct required and expected from a person’s
position or occupational function. It is an inescapable responsibility.
Obviously, there is a hierarchy of duty as it applies to individuals and
entities. We have our duty to God, to family, to country, to work, to
organizations, and to all our fellowmen. Regardless, all our duties are
expected to be completed and fulfilled with excellence. Duty is an essential
chain that holds all aspects of our religion, society, and human existence
together in reliable and dependable ways. Without duty, everything would
certainly soon break down and turn into a chaotic free-for-all. Do your part,
uphold the highest of standards, keep commitments and responsibilities, go
beyond the average norm, and do the entirety of your duty.
