Underneath the painting, he wrote: "Whoever finds fault with this painting, please mark it in red ink." In the evening he found his best painting was full of red scribbles, so many scribbles that the original painting was no longer recognizable.
Feeling like a failure as a painter he then complained about it to his teacher, the wise teacher advised: "Tomorrow you put your best painting back on the school window, write under your painting this sentence: " Whoever finds an error in this painting, please use the brush provided to improve.".
And he also followed the advice of his teacher, from afar he noticed that no one dared to approach the painting … even until the afternoon, none of his school friends tried to repair the painting.
The teacher explained: "People who can find and find faults/disgrace are very numerous … but people who can fix and do something to cover it are very rare.
That’s the condition we are in today, very like to criticize and criticize, but no one has come up with a solution." The young painter smiled satisfied with the teacher’s statement…
