about his painting skills, he put his painting at a crossing on a busy street and put up a board that

read," Gentlemen, I have painted this piece. Since I'm new, I might have made some mistakes in

my work. Please put a cross wherever you see a mistake. ”

When he came back in the evening, he was completely shocked to see that the whole

painting was filled with crosses. He ran to his master and said to him, "I’m useless and if this is

what I have learned to paint, I'm not worth teaching.” The master smiled and said, "I'll let you know that you are a great artist. Now go to paint

the same painting again and give it to me.”

Then they went to the same street the next morning and put the same painting exactly at the

same place. Now the master took out another board which read, "Gentlemen, I have painted this

piece. I might have made some mistakes in my painting. I have put a box with colors and

brushes just below. If you see a mistake, pick up the brush and correct it. " Two days later, they

came back to the place. The young painter was surprised to see that actually there was not a

single correction.
