(Interesting) Excellence - good one

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.*

(Fun) U.N. Worldwide survey failure

A worldwide survey was conducted by the UN.

The only question asked was:

"Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the Shortage Of food in rest of the world".

The survey was a huge failure........ Do you know WHY?


* In Africa they didn't know what 'food' meant.


* In India they didn't know what 'honest' meant.


* In Europe they didn't know what 'shortage' meant.


* In China they didn't know what 'opinion' meant.


* In the Middle East they didn't know what 'solution' meant.


* In South America they didn't know what 'please' meant.


* And in the USA they didn't know what 'the rest of the world' meant.
