My Mantra for the Day !!!!
ROAR ! ! ! ;D
In early 16th-century Rome, a little girl was walking to school one day when she passed by the Rome Public Library. In front of the library that morning, were two things she had never seen before: One was a huge, shapeless chink of marble, and the other was a man in a smock. The little girl was really curious, but she was real late for school, so she raced off to school. Later that afternoon, she was coming back from school, and she passed again by the Rome Public Library, and she was looking for that huge, shapeless chuck of marble, but it was no longer there. In its place stood a statue of the most beautiful lion she had ever seen. Michelangelo was washing his hands and thinking about what he had just done that day, and the little girl walked over and tugged on his smock. “Hey,” she said. “How did you know there was a lion in there?”
The moral of the story? If Michelangelo had not removed everything that was NOT lion from that huge, shapeless chunk of marble, no one would have ever seen the lion.
My cutting mantra for the d ay
