8．In our life of journey，we each have important roles to play．Some are conductors and some are singers．And the rest are heroes in the supporting cast（配角演員）and are necessary to complete the different tasks in life．The"stars"would be greatly darkened if the individual heroes don't support their performances．The magical accents of the performance section might sound terrible and out of place，unless you could also hear the music they accompany．Even one member of an orchestra doing less than their best could stop the harmony of the musical piece．
So even though you may not receive the attention of the other performers，your contribution is valuable and a unique part of the success of the whole in the life you lead．
When you do your job well，you put your own unique energy into the task．Each of us has a different personality and a different talent，just suited for the different roles we support．We can look around us at any moment and identify with the people we work with．Doing your job well displays your ability and gratitude，while learning the lessons from others can move us towards our goals．
When you are fully present in the job you do，you bring the fullness of your mind，body，and spirit to the moment．Your contribution is strengthened by your talents and abilities，and they can attract the right people and circumstances to your experience．You are playing your role to your very best．You are giving your best to be the world and making it a better place for all of us to live in．remember，each of us is expected to be the best．
