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. 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 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 going to know that there is
scratch on the nose? The gentleman asked.
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.
