Here is an interesting article on Phil Visher the creator of Veggie tales and his new project. The article includes the following:
One of the keys to his personal turnaround came when he read about the life of Mother Teresa.
“She fed the poor one at a time. She didn’t try to franchise her system for feeding the hungry. She didn’t try to become the Ray Kroc of world hunger. At first, that didn’t make sense to me. That’s not very efficient. Read some business books! Be more efficient! But then I realized she was doing what God called her to do, and that’s all that matters.”
Seem like he found out for himself this quote of Blessed Mother Teresa "God does not ask me to be successful, but to be faithful."

Where is the quote from? I’d love to read the whole article.
That statement from Blessed Mother Teresa is one we have used with our children as they are growing up and making their own decisions; faithfulness not success.
�VeggieTales� creator follows a new fork in road to success
I’ve had so many discussions with people who think that Mother Teresa didn’t do enough to help the poor. She could have been more efficient, etc.
I always ask, “So what did YOU do?”
Eh? I give money to…
“No. What do you DO? Not what do you give to other people so they’ll do it.”
So sometimes I like to think that not only was Mother Teresa not a businesswoman, she was more into hands-on than delegation.
