\t\t\t\tOnce upon a time there was a painter who had just completed his course. He took 3 days and painted a beautiful scenery. He wanted people’s opinions about his calibre and painting skills.<\/p>\n
He put his creation at a busy street-crossing. And set down below it, a board which read, “I have painted this piece. Since I’m new to this profession I might have committed some mistakes in my strokes, etc. Please put a cross wherever you see a mistake.”<\/p>\n
When he came back in the evening to collect his painting he was completely shattered to see that the whole canvass was filled with ‘X’s (crosses) and some people had even written their comments on the painting.<\/p>\n
Disheartened and broken completely, he ran to his Master’s place and burst into tears.<\/p>\n
This young artist was breathing heavily and the Master heard him saying, “I’m useless, and if this is what I have learnt to paint, I’m not worth becoming a painter. People have rejected me completely. I feel like dying.”<\/p>\n
The Master smiled and suggested, “My son, I will prove that you are a great artist and that you have learnt flawless painting. Do as I tell you to do, without questioning. It WILL work.”<\/p>\n
The young artist reluctantly agreed and two days later early in the morning he presented a replica of his earlier painting to his Master. The Master took it gracefully and smiled.<\/p>\n
“Come with me.” the Master said.<\/p>\n
They reached the same street-square early in the morning and displayed the same painting exactly at the same place. Now the Master took out another board which read, “Gentlemen, I have painted this piece. Since I’m new to this profession I might have committed some mistakes in my strokes, etc. I have put a box with colors and brushes just below. Please do a favor. If you see a mistake, kindly pick up the brush and correct it.”<\/p>\n
The Master and the disciple walked back home.<\/p>\n
They both visited the place in the same evening. The young painter was surprised to see that actually there was not a single correction done so far. The next day again they visited and found the painting remained untouched. They say, the painting was kept there for a month but no correction came in!<\/p>\n
Moral of the story:<\/p>\n
It is easier to criticize, but
\nDIFFICULT TO IMPROVE !!!<\/p>\n
So don’t get carried away or judge yourself by someone else’s criticisms and feel depressed…<\/p>\n
JUDGE YOURSELF !<\/p>\n
YOU ARE YOUR BEST JUDGE !!!\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
