Pygmalion was a talented young man at sculpting, he was really good at it. His hand carved works are really good, but not his skill that makes him known and loved by his friends and neighbors. Pygmalion is knows as a person who likes to think positive, he looked everything from a good angle.
if there's a muddy field in the city center, people are grumbling...but Pygmalion doesn't, he said "Fortunately, another field not as bad as this."
When there is a statue buyers insist to bargain, his friends are whispering " That Person are so stingy." but Pygmalion said "Maybe he needs to use the money in other things."
When there is children stealing apples from Pygmalion garden, Pygmalion doesn't curse, he even pity that child, "Poor child, they lack of education and adequate food in their home."
That's how Pygmalion view a things, he didn't see a situation as a bad term, but rather from a good term, he never thinks bad about others, but he looked a good things behind the bad deeds of others.
One day Pygmalion carved wooden statue of a woman from a very smooth wood, he carves human sized statue. when it was finished, it looks like a real human being, sweet smiling face, charming, and beautiful statue. Pygmalion friends said "Ah, Really good statue, but it's just a sculpture not a wife." But Pygmalion doesn't care and treat it as a human being.
The Gods on Mount Olympus noticed and appreciated Pygmalion good deeds, then they decided to give Pygmalion a blessing, The Gods changed the statue into a real human being. Thus, Pygmalion lived happily with his wife who allegedly is the most beautiful woman in the entire country of Greece.
