Forest Light Artist:Magunta Dayakar |
''I will devote my life to paintings. One day I will become a great artist. ’’ he said with confidence.
'' Once you become a great artist...what you will do after that? '' I asked him.
'' I will earn lots of money by selling my paintings. ''
'' After that....? ''
He became confused.
Again I asked him...'' You can sell your paintings, if you are known as a great artist. So it is the money you can earn by becoming a great artist.'' I paused for one moment then I asked him
'' ...why don’t you try to earn money instead of becoming a great artist to earn money. I think earning money is easier than becoming a great artist.....’’
