Came across good definition of Quality....very
relevant to our way of working also.....
A gentleman was once visiting a temple under
construction. In the temple premises, he saw a sculptor making an idol of God.
Suddenly he saw, just a few meters away, another identical idol was lying. Surprised
he asked the sculptor, do you need two statutes of the same idol. No said the
sculptor. We need only one, but the first one got damaged at the last stage.
The gentleman examined the statue. No apparent damage was visible. Where the
damage is? Asked the15878 gentleman. There is a scratch on the nose of the
idol. Where are you going to keep the idol? The sculptor replied that it will
be installed on a pillar 20 feet high.
When the idol will be 20 feet away from the eyes of the beholder, who is going to know that there is scratch on the nose? The gentleman asked. The sculptor looked at the gentleman, smiled and said, ' The God knows it and I know it '. The desire to excel should be exclusive of the fact whether someone appreciates it or not. Quality is a drive from Inside not Outside.
