"At the end of a particularly tiring day toward the end of my first week as a General Authority, my briefcase was overloaded and my mind was preoccupied with the question "How can I possibly do this?" I left the office of the Seventy and entered the elevator of the Church Administration Building. As the elevator descended, my head was down and I stared blankly at the floor.
The door opened and someone entered, but i didn't look up. As soon as the door closed, I heard someone ask, "What are you looking at down there?" I recognized that voice, it was President Thomas S. Monson.
I quickly looked up and responded, "Oh, nothing." But he had seen my subdued countenance and my heavy briefcase. He smiled and lovingly suggested, while pointing heavenward, "It is better to look up!"
