Any Great Masterpiece Can Be Created!

A masterpiece is created as a result of time, clarity, commitment, hard work and perseverance.

In one of the international schools in Bangalore there is a display of self-portrait oil painting done by one of the students which is really a masterpiece. The student has drawn his own picture. It captures everybody’s attention and admiration.

On one of the Parents Teachers Meets, the students’ mother visited the school for the first time. To her utter surprise, she found her son’s portrait on the notice board which she learned later that it was done by her own son. She was overjoyed and couldn’t believe her eyes. She felt a sense of pride and tears of joy rolled down her cheek. (She is not from India). She kissed her son’s portrait and took a snap.

The interesting part is homework done by the student. Student figured out which picture to draw. His decision to draw his own picture was very clear to him. He did his own homework by looking at his own photographs, selecting and thinking. With clarity, commitment, hard work and perseverance he created a masterpiece. It is a great achievement for this student. If he is able to create such a masterpiece, he can create a great success out of himself too.

The point is, to create any thing beautiful; it requires clarity, commitment, hard work and perseverance. Any masterpiece is possible for those who decide to invest time, commitment, hard work and perseverance. Things are made possible by doing.
