Motivational Story : Never Stop Improving Yourself

This story is about a sculptor and his son, how his son becomes better sculptor than him but later his carved statue lost their perfection.

A sculptor was living in a village and fulfilling his daily needs by selling statues carved by him. He was living with his only son and they were living happily. With the time the son matured and the sculptor decided to teach his skills to his son.

Son was also very much interested in making statues and started learning very quickly. Son started making good statues with the time and whenever father sees statues made by his son he praises him a lot but on the same side always suggests some improvement in statues. His son understood his mistakes he made during carving and works harder to improve his earlier mistakes, and made much better statues than earlier one. But again his father with praise give some new improvements in the statues. Son further improves himself and make even better statues than earlier.

Year and years passed and the son became a very good sculptor by implementing the suggestion given by his father. His statue being praised all over the village and also in nearby villages but still whenever his father sees his statues, he always give some improvement suggestion in the statues. At this stage the Son started to feel bad about the suggestions given by his father but again tried to improve his statues further.

With the time other sculptors also started taking suggestions from son but the father still used to tell improvements in son’s statues. The son started thinking that now everyone praises him for his work but his father is still giving him suggestion for more improvement in his statues. But still the son continued taking his father suggestions and improved his statues. Time passes and he started getting very well paid for his statues but still his father with praise, always gave some more suggestion and asked him for more improvement but now son got annoyed and asked his father why he always trying to find the mistakes in his statues and never be convinced. Also told his father that he is being praised by everyone in the city and paid higher than him and can make better statues than him then why he should take suggestion from him.

Father said nothing and left from there. The Son kept making statues and was earning good. But with the time demand for his statues starts dropping and he was not getting praise as much as earlier for his work. The son was not able to understand that what was happening to him and then he decided to talk to his father about all this. And then he went to his father and asked the reason behind drop in quality in his statues, father explained his son very simply that till time I was giving improvement in your statues you were improving your statues and making better statues than earlier but later you thought that you have achieved perfection and there is no further scope of improvement and you stopped improving yourself further, that is why the quality of your statues was not dropped but remain the same and when people didn’t see any betterment and they stopped appreciating you.    

Now Son asked his father if you knew earlier it’s going to happen with me and why you didn’t told me earlier. Father replied yes I knew that it will happen one day but I didn’t tell anything at that moment because you were not ready to listen me at that time and were overconfident that there is no improvement required in your statues and that’s why I didn’t tell you anything at that time.     

                                       

So the moral of the story is that there is always a scope for improvement in everything and you should keep improving yourself at every stage of life. The day you will stop improving you will lose your perfection. Always improve yourself if someone is positively criticizing you to improve, never be offended by thinking you are better than them. Then only you can improve yourself every day and make yourself the best version of you.
