This story is of a boy, who
had great ambitions in life. He always thought that the sky is the limit. His
aspirations were so high that sometimes it seemed not achievable. He was a great
painter, an excellent scholar in school and dreamed about life to achieve the
highest of positions in life.
Vaidya , on his way to school
saw a sculpture which he could not recognize, he kept thinking all the way to
the school but could not figure it out. It was disturbing him throughout the day
that what was that he saw today. After being confused and frustrated he went to
his teacher and asked about it. The teacher said, “Son the thing which you saw
today on your way to school is a symbol of highest recognition”. To this vaidya
got very excited and wanted to know more about it. So after school he took his
sketching pads and pencils to that place, and started drawing the figure he
could see. Once he had completed the painting what he saw was something really
astounding.
He was a lot more confused
after seeing the final sketch, as it had turned out to be his own sketch with
the same pose as was being held by that sculpture. He felt very awkward that
how has this happened. Was it some kind of magic, some spirits around him or
what was it. To this he could now understand is that it is his own imagination
and his own self which made him draw it exactly like him.
He passed out of his school
and went to a fine art college to learn art. It was his long term aspiration to
become the most famed artist in the world. He joined college and some years
later he was a famous artist………………………………….
