Is quitting a sin?

When you are burnt out, frustrated and unhappy with work, will you just quit? When you are not motivated any longer, uninspired and lazy, will you just abandon it?

Nokia Ringtone Interrupts, Violist Plays Along


As Slovakian musician Lukáš Kmit played a beautiful piece on his viola, suddenly the obnoxious Nokia ringtone blasted through the reverie. What a wonderful reaction he had! Instead of stopping the music altogether (like what happened at a New York Philharmonic concert earlier this month when an iPhone’s “marimba” ringtone so blatantly interrupted the music that the conductor stopped the entire orchestra), Lukáš picked up on the Nokia noise, playing it more beautifully than we’ve ever heard.
