Excellence ...


A gentleman was once visiting a temple under construction.In the temple premises, he saw a sculptor making an idol of God.Suddenly he saw, just a few meters away, another identical idol was lying.Surprised he asked the sculptor, do you need two statutes of the same idol. Nosaid the sculptor.

We need only one, but the first one got damaged at the last stage.The gentleman examined the statue.No apparent damage was visible.Where the damage is .. Asked the gentleman.

There is a scratch on the nose of the idol.Where are you going to keep the idol? The sculptor replied that it will be installed on a pillar 20 feet high.When the idol will be 20 feet away from the eyes of the beholder, who is goingto know that there is scratch on the nose? The gentleman asked.

The sculptor looked at the gentleman, smiled and said, "God knows it and I know it ".

Always Remember...

The desire to excel should be exclusive of the fact whether someone appreciatesit or not."Excellence is a drive from Inside not Outside."

Good one.. Nothing in this world is permanent.. Joys, Sorrows, Excitement etc. everything is transient and temporary.. So, "This too shall pass" is a wonderful message for all of us to keep in mind all the time..

Thanks for sharing.
