A famous sculptor wanted to sculpt his final masterpiece on top of a hill
He had time left for only this one – and he wanted it to be his best work ever
He worked, day and night, creating patterns and bringing the mountain stones to life
And when it was all over, he asked a friend to come and see the end result
The friend saw a stunning piece of art, from the foot of the hill and knew instantly that this was indeed the sculptor’s best work ever
And so he climbed the hill, to congratulate his friend
Once he reached, the sculptor insisted that the friend take a closer look and admire the finer aspects of the sculpture
The friend noticed a crack, and reported the same to the sculptor
The sculptor paused for a minute. Stared at the crack. One could see his expressions changing.
Without any warning, he took his hammer and destroyed the entire sculpture
The friend was shocked. What just happened
“Why did you do that? No one would have noticed that crack from such a distance. People would have still liked it”
“But I noticed the crack”
This week, we were releasing a youtube film for nearbuy.com
And I wasnt happy with the final outcome
So I asked myself the question that I have previously asked
“Will people like it?”
And the answer was – probably yes. It wasnt that bad
But then I asked myself a different question
“Will I put my name behind this film? Will I be proud that this is a nearbuy production?”
Everything suddenly made sense
Don’t let the world define your standards
