Masterpiece

Masterpiece A master calligrapher was writing some
characters onto a piece of paper. One of his especially
perceptive students was watching him. When the calligrapher
was finished, he asked for the student's opinion - who
immediately told him that it wasn't any good. The master
tried again, but the student criticized the work again.

Over and over, the calligrapher carefully redrew the same
characters, and each time the student rejected it. Finally,
when the student had turned his attention away to something
else and wasn't watching, the master seized the opportunity
to quickly dash off the characters. "There! How's that?," he
asked the student. The student turned to look. "THAT.... is
a masterpiece!" he exclaimed.
