Value of Painting or Hard work



It's a story of Hard work and it’s Value of Picasso, a very famous painter born in Spain.


One day when Picasso was walking through a road, a woman who was passing by the same road saw Picasso. She recognized him and ran to him.


She said to him, “I'm a big fan of yours. I like your paintings very much.. Please will you make me a painting too..??”


Picasso smiled at request and said, “I have nothing to paint. I am empty handed here. I will make you a painting some other time..”


The Woman replied, “I don’t know if i will be able to meet you again or not.. Please make me a painting now..”


On being insisted so much by women Picasso took out a small piece of paper and pen out of his pocket and began to make something on that paper.


Within 10 seconds Picasso completed drawing, handed that paper to that woman and said, “Take this, it's a million dollar painting..”


Women find it strange that he can make a complete drawing within 10 seconds and is saying that it would value a million dollar painting.


The Woman thanked him and took that painting with her. After she reached home she thought that maybe Picasso was joking about the value of that drawing he made for her.


So, she went to the market to find out about the right value of painting. She was surprised to know that that drawing was actually worth a million dollars.


After that women again got a chance to meet Picasso. She was very excited to see him. She went to him and said, “Sir, you were right that the drawing you made was worth a million dollars.”


She continued, “Sir, please make me your student. Please teach me how to paint so that I am able to paint like you made a million dollar painting in such a small time.”


Picasso smiled and said, “Dear, this drawing which I made in 10 sec, it is worth a million dollars. this value is of 30 yrs of my life i gave to Hard work, struggle and dedication towards learning arts..!!


If you want to do this.. Give your life to this and you will also be able to make paintings like this..”


The Woman was speechless.


Moral: When we see others successful we think that they got it easy.. what we don’t realize is the hard work and time hidden behind that success..


Nobody sees Hard work and Patience. Everyone sees only success but they don’t see that one has to sacrifice life in preparation and to achieve that success. Success seeks experience and struggle.

McDow Hole – Anatomy Of A Texas Ghost Story

  Spooky Texas legend of the McDow Hole, where ghost sightings of pioneer woman Jenny Papworth and her baby have long been reported.  Written by Bob Hopkins . I first heard the legendary tale of the Ghost of the McDow Hole in the fifteenth year of my youth. It was near Halloween in October 1975 when a friend related the tale of the ghost that haunts a creek bed in rural Erath County and naturally I believed every word of it in the twilight of an evening spent with friends telling ghost stories. I would again hear the tale over the years while living in North Central Texas. It wasn’t until my chance encounter of meeting an author of the legend in 2002 that my curiosity began to peak and like any good investigator I felt it my duty to dig deeper into the hundred year old tale of pioneer folklore to see how much of the story was true and how much was fabricated. I would discover many similarities in fact and fiction that I believed would leave any reader with the same curiosity t...

Tsali: North Carolina Cherokee Ghost Story

  The year was 1838. As the first rays of early morning light crept through the dark and misty mountain valley, Tsali gazed out of his tiny cave with a heavy heart. As a young boy, he spent days running though the thick woods and scampering up the steep, rocky hillsides that surrounded his Cherokee village in western North Carolina. The mountains were his place of escape — a place where he could dream, and be alone with his thoughts. But now, as an ailing, 60-year-old man, Tsali was hiding in these hills for a very different reason. The white man had taken away the land that his ancestors had lived on for centuries. And they would not stop until even these majestic, sacred hills were theirs. Tsali looked out and saw his fellow villagers, who were also hiding in the tiny crevices that dotted the wooded hillside. Many were shivering in the early morning chill. In their haste to leave, they had had no time to pack their belongings. Some managed to smile back at Tsali, their teeth chat...

Lorenzo Dow’s Georgia Curse

  There comes a time in life when we all need a little guidance – a little helpful push to remind us what’s right and wrong. And for some folks, that guidance comes from some good old fashioned, fire and brimstone preaching. Now these days, you can’t turn on the TV without seeing one religious channel after another. But back in the old days when there wasn’t any TV – or cars for that matter – the traveling preacher was the only man of God some country folk got to see. Lorenzo Dow was one of the best-known traveling preachers back in the 1800s. He was a funny looking man from Connecticut – tall and skinny with wild eyes, long stringy hair, a thick beard, and a slight hunchback. But he also had a booming voice that made sinners across the country shake in their boots. “Repent now, my brothers and sisters! Repent!” he would scream in every town he visited, and many people did just that. Lorenzo loved the outdoors, and would rather sleep on cold, hard ground in the woods than the most ...
