Excellence....

                                       

There is one famous incident about one of the greatest painters who have walked the earth, Sir Pablo Picasso. Once Mr. Picasso was sitting in a park and a woman approached him and said, "Mr. Picasso, I am a great fan of yours, I have seen almost every painting you have ever made, I have read about you so much." Mr. Picasso very humbly replied, "Thank you lady, I am pleased to hear that.". The lady suddenly took out a paper and pen from her pocked and asked, "Mr. Picasso, can you draw something for me on the paper?" Mr. Picasso took the paper and in just 30 seconds drew a wonderful picture on the paper. The lady was pretty excited and took the paper as soon as Mr. Picasso ended and with great happiness started going away. Mr. Picasso suddenly stopped her and said, "hey, where are my one million dollars!" The lady thought Mr. Picasso was joking, so she replied, "Mr. Picasso, you just took 30 seconds to do this!." No, replied Mr. Picasso interrupting the lady. Then with a very serene smile Mr. Picasso replied, "It took my 30 years to do that in 30 seconds for you, so don't my 30 years count even up to 1 million."

The story mentioned above is in itself a great motivating one and proves the nobody is gifted in this world. Nobody would have seen a better painter than Mr. Picasso (currently I am not including Sir. Vincent Van Gogh) and if he took 30 years to attain excellence, then it eventually proves that nobody in this world is bestowed with greatness from our birth; we all have to attain it through persistent hard work and perseverance.

Whenever we see great mathematicians, sports players, scientists, artists, musicians, company CEOs, inventors etc. we are tempted to just give ourselves an excuse by calling them great, but actually the work that they have done for almost 20 to thirty years in life is never seen by us. They all sweat more and more and at last they get more and more. Success is actually a wonderful combination of our works that we carry out. The ones who actually work hard at last terms as gifted by the rest but the truth always holds, that any great person who has ever walked on earth has surely worked in a much more greater way than any other of his counterpart.

So just continue doing your work, don't be tensed for results and everything would set itself....
