Amazing is the fact that sculptors strive to give stone the likeness of a man, yet do not think about not being the likeness of stone themselves.

The Statue of David (Michelangelo)

When Michelangelo sculpted the famous statue of David 🪨✨, nobles and townsfolk flocked to marvel at the masterpiece 👀. Among them was a cardinal with his entourage ⛪️. The statue was magnificent! Everyone praised its perfection 🙌.

But the cardinal, accustomed to giving advice 🗣, felt compelled to comment. Turning to Michelangelo, he said:

— "I like your work. But... you know! That spot, the shoulder... It seems to me it could use a little chiseling! 🔨"

What was Michelangelo to do? Arguing with the cardinal—a self-important, arrogant man 😤—was not an option, especially since the cardinal’s favor influenced everything in the land 🌍. Yet Michelangelo couldn't compromise the harmony and beauty of his creation 🎨💎.

So, taking a clever approach 🧠, Michelangelo picked up his hammer in one hand and a chisel in the other, along with a small handful of marble dust 🪨. He climbed the ladder 🪜, pretended to strike the statue, and discreetly let the marble dust trickle down 💫.

Afterward, he descended, inspected the statue 🔍, and asked the cardinal:

— "Is it better now?"

The cardinal squinted, studied the statue carefully 🤔, and declared:

— "Ah! Now it's perfect! 👌👏"
