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.

Excellence is a drive from Inside not Outside.
