Excellence a drive from inside....

A man once visited a temple under construction where he saw a 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 man, smiled and said, "I will know it."

Moral of the story:

The desire to excel is exclusive of the fact whether someone else appreciates it or not. It is not necessarily for someone else to notice but for our own satisfaction and excellence...

Chandrayaan-1

Hello All,

Countdown for the first ever mission to the moon by an India "The Chandrayaan -1" has begun at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre,Sriharikota....The info and details on the mission can be found here:

• http://www.isro.gov.in/Chandrayaan/htmls/home.htm
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandrayaan
• http://chandrayaan-i.com/

Chandrayaan-1 was conceptualized in early 2003 and now it's ready to go into moon for accomplishing it's objectives...The mission also joins India to a very selected nations capable of launching satellites beyond Earth. It also makes India the fourth country to plant it's flag on moon. It will be a proud moment for every Indian when ISRO takes 'Chandrayaan' to moon in a few days of time.. I wish 'ISRO and its scientists' the "Best Wishes" for the mission....

Like every enthusiast, i have been keenly reading the information given by print media published from Bangalore about 'Chandrayaan'. I found info and critisims about the mission, but i am saddened to find none wished "Best Wishes" for the mission... Don't you feel ISRO and it's scientists who will make our nation proud in a few days of time richly deserve "Best Wishes" from all of us and media(as the message from them reaches all across the globe)??

Perseverance...

Have you ever watched birds when they have to face adverse circumstances?

They spend day after day weaving their nests, collecting building material, sometimes brought from distant places...and when it is almost ready and they are prepared to lay eggs, actions of the weather, human beings or other animals destroy the nest which was built with so much care, effort and love.

What does the birds do? Stops and gives up? Not at all !!!


Starts over and over again, until the first eggs are laid in nest.

Many times, just before chicks are born, an animal, a child, a storm once again destroys the nest, but now with its precious contents.

It hurts starting from zero.. But inspite of it all, the bird never hushes or gives up, carries on singing and building , building and singing.

Have you ever felt that your life, your work, your family, your friends, are not what you dreamt of?

Do you feel like saying: "That's enough, it is not worth the effort, this is too much for me?"

Are you tired of starting over and over again the struggle of everyday life, the betrayed trust, the failed dreams, the broken promises, the unreached goals, when you were almost getting there?

Even if life hurts you again and again, do not give up! Pray and put your hopes in front of you and go forward! Do not worry if you get scarred in this process, it is something you can expect.

Collect all the bits and pieces of your broken hopes and dreams, put them together and go forward again.

Does not matter how many obstacles you have to overcome. Do not loose courage. Trust God and keep on going in faith.

Life is a constant challenge, but it is worth to accept it...and Above all.. Like the birds...
