We started off the year sharing my father’s work, an alphabet he was working on at the time of his passing. At the end of 2024, we found his complete work and are releasing each letter throughout the year. This week, we share the next letter.
H – Humble: There will always be someone ahead of us in life… BE HUMBLE
Amitabh Bachchan (a Bollywood actor) says:
In the midst of my career’s pinnacle, I found myself aboard a plane, seated next to an elderly gentleman. He wore simple attire—a shirt and pants—a demeanor suggesting middle-class origins, yet exuding an air of quiet confidence and education.
Despite the recognition from fellow passengers, this gentleman seemed calm by my presence. He immersed himself in reading his paper and gazing out of the window, sipping tea with serene composure.
Attempting to engage in conversation, I offered a smile. To my surprise, he reciprocated with warmth. We began conversing, and I broached the topic of cinema and movies, inquiring if he indulged in them.
His response was modest: “Oh, very few. I watched one many years ago.”
I disclosed my profession in the movie industry.
His reaction was unassuming: “Oh, that’s nice. What do you do?”
“I am an actor,” I replied.
He nodded amiably, “That’s wonderful!” And with that, our interaction seemed to conclude.
Upon landing, I extended my hand in farewell, introducing myself, “It was a pleasure traveling with you. By the way, my name is Amitabh Bachchan!”
He shook my hand with a gentle smile, responding, “Thank you. Nice to have met you. I am J.R.D. Tata.”
In that moment, I realized the profundity of humility. No matter one’s perceived stature, there will always be individuals of greater eminence. Humility, I learned on that day that no matter how big you think you are, there is always someone bigger than you. Be Humble, it costs nothing.
B E H A V I O R is always Greater Than Knowledge, Because in Life There Are Many Situations Where Knowledge Fails, But HUMBLE Behavior Can Handle almost E V E R Y T H I N G!
In Summary: There is always love, always faith always HOPE and always BE HUMBLE.
