Once there was a painter who had just completed his course of training. He painted a beautiful scenery in three days. He wanted people’s opinion about his painting skills.
He put up his creation at a busy street-crossing. And just below that hung up a board which read, “I have painted this piece. Since I am new to this profession, I might have committed some mistakes in my strokes. Please put a cross wherever you see a mistake.”
When he came back in the evening to dismantle his painting, he was completely shattered to see that the whole canvas was filled with Xs (crosses) and some people had even written their comments on the painting itself.
Totally disheartened, he ran to his master’s place and burst into tears. He said, “ I am useless and if this is what I have learnt to paint, I am not worth becoming a painter. People have rejected me completely. I feel like dying.”
The master smiled and suggested an approach.
