Sculptor Story

Excellence
A German once visited a temple under construction where he saw a sculptor making an idol of God. Suddenly he noticed a similar idol lying nearby. Surprised, he asked the sculptor, "Do you need 2 statues of the same idol?" "No," said the sculptor without looking up, "We need only 1, but the 1st one got damaged at the last stage." The German examined the idol & found no apparent damage. "Where is the damage?" he asked. "There is a scratch on the nose of the idol" said the sculptor, still busy with his work. "Where are you going to install the idol?" The sculptor replied that it would be installed on a pillar 20 ft high. "If the idol is that far, who's going to know about the scratch. the German asked. The sculptor stopped his work, looked up at the German, smiled & said, "I will know it"

The desire to excel is exclusive of the fact whether someone else appreciates it or not. "Excellence" is a drive from inside, not outside. Excellence is not for someone else to notice but for your own satisfaction and efficiency.

God has gifted all of us with some special power or the other, we just need to find out the key and use it for the betterment. One need to have a big heart and love for everyone to do that. Life is full of fun - one has to learn the secret how to enjoy life.
