Building a Culture of Excellence

-SM Shashidhar

Today is an appropriate occasion to talk about Excellence, a great value, that we are pursuing to transform PDIT into a great institution. There are many definitions of excellence. Excellence is not about perfection; that is unachievable. Excellence is away of life, a habit; an attitude, and above all, a great passion to reach out beyond one’s grasp. 

Here, I bring you a story which no one knows who wrote it. Its root is untraceable. But as usual, I thought, it would at least make you students think about something very important aspect of things we do in life.

A man once paid a visit to a temple. The temple was not fully built; it had its statues, and altars all under construction. There was a sculptor outside the temple making a statue of a God. The site took him by a surprise when he saw a similar statue lying beside the sculptor.

 "Do you need two statues of the same GOD?" He couldn’t hold his curiosity.

"No," said the sculptor without looking up, "We need only one, but the first one got damaged at the last stage."

The gentleman looked at the idol and found no apparent damages. "Where is the damage?"  

"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 scratch on the nose?" the gentleman asked.

The sculptor stopped his work, looked up at the gentleman, smiled and said, "I will know it."

Don’t you think, “Excellence is not a skill. It is an attitude.”
