A thought and a quote...

Lisa and I have just watched a random episode of Futurama during which Bender meets God. At the end of the episode God says something like "if you've done something right it looks like you've done nothing at all". We both simultaneously thought "that's just like Social Work!" Not that we equate ourselves with God at all but... people always notice your mistakes (the media especially) but we do a lot of positive things which hardly get noticed. The most lasting positive changes are usually very subtle and rely on the strengths of the individual concerned. I once thought a good advertising slogan for the profession would be: "Social Work - making the world a better place for one person at a time"....
