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 two statues of the same

idol?" "No," said the sculptor without looking up, "We need only one, but

the first one got damaged at the last stage." The gentleman examined the

idol and 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 twenty feet high. "If the

idol is that far, who is going to know that there is a scratch on the

nose?" the gentleman asked. The sculptor stopped his work, looked up at the

gentleman, smiled and 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..

DEAR MR SHRIKANT MANOHAR DANKE
   The story ends as  " when the sculptor was asked who will see the idol some twenty feet above"
The sculptor replies " GOD WHO IS SITTING IN THE SKY WILL SEE  "
The moral of the story is " whatever yu do do it with dedication and sincerity since god is always there to see your deeds "

In my view, Sculptors, Artists and Artisans are altogether different classes, they are class apart! They have not diluted their creativity just for anything! Great inspiring story.  Thanks for posting Mr. Shrikant!
