Than becoming a great artist ...(From The Painter's Heart)


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.....’’
