Wonderful Thought. A lesson to learn!

A wonderful thought. A lesson to learn!

A gentleman was once visiting a temple which was 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.

Surprisingly he asked the sculptor, do you need two statues of the same idol.

No, said 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 is the damage, asked the gentleman.

There is a scratch on the nose of the idol, answered the sculptor.

Where are you going to keep this idol? Asked the gentleman.

The sculptor replied that it will be installed on the top of the pillar of 20 feet.

When the idol will be 20 feet away from the eyes of the beholder, who is going to notice that there is a scratch on the nose? Said the gentleman.

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

The desire to excel should be exclusive of the fact whether someone appreciates it or not.

"Excellence is a drive from Inside and not Outside."
