Tres Personajes by Rufino Tamayo
"I am helpless, no body wants me, i worthless" is just some of the words usually uttered by those people who are facing difficult problems. These people; jobless man, heart broken man, broken home man, and etc; does not feel that they worth anything again.
We are just an adventurer in this world who will face many obstacle in order to achieve our aims.But just don't let these obstacles stand and stop you right away.
I have just finished reading a news in which was told that a trashed painting, founded by a woman passed, was sold for over US$1 million. This woman, Elizabeth Gibson, founded the painting, which was later known as the master piece named "Tres Personajes" by Rufino Tamayo, in her morning brisk walk on Manhattan's Upper West Side in 2003. She, who know nothing about art, believed that the painting she founded in trash has power. She then tried her best to find any information related to this painting.
After four years searching, she discovered the "Antiques Roadshow" site which described a missing masterpiece stolen in 1989. She promptly returned the painting and received $15,000 plus percentage from the masterpiece selling which was sold for $1,049,000 to an unidentified American private collector. The painting was originally bought by a Houston Collector for only $55,000 for his wife birthday in 1977 before it went missing when they are moving house.
This news above gives us a good example on why we shouldn't give up. The painting showed us that as long as we can endure every sufferings, contempts, obstacles, and pressures; we can reach our goals while the woman showed us that hardworking will give us the best result. We need to believe in ourselves that every people; no matter who, whose, what, where and how ; is meant for something big. We just need to have a little faith in us-wish big,think big, and act big.
