திறமை எனில் என்ன ? திருப்தி எனில் என்ன ?

அருமை அன்பர் அராதா அன்புடன் குழுமத்தினில் பகிர்ந்த ஒரு இழையினை இங்கு இடுகையாகப் போடுவதில் மனம் மகிழ்கிறேன்

Excellence...

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
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...
