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... "
