Human "beings" - 6 :: VIPs

Dear All

"Sachin Tendulkar", "Abdul Kalaam", "Vishy Anand", "AR Rahman", "Mother Teresa" were the names spontaneously blurted out by me when I was asked whom I admire most.....!!

This question was a part of the introductory session in a training program at a office where I worked earlier. While every one of the participants were able to come out with just one name and was able to speak couple of coherent sentences on their choice of person, I was groping for words to substantiate my thoughts about the array of people whom I spelt....!!

As I was thinking aloud on the rationale behind my choice(s), I discovered that, per se - it was not an individual whom I had chosen but rather a innate quality....which is some thing that captivated me - abundantly available in all of them. Its nothing but HUMILITY....

Well, for a common man perhaps humility could be a virtue to be practised... (and perhaps a basic qualification for being normal and not a VIP ??).

However for people who have reached certain height in their career / profession, humility is too big a qualification which they need not carry at all. To put it differently, we do have lot of other people at the same levels matching their calibre but quite ordinary in their character !! That makes this list of people special for me and in my memory...

Well, when I started this series of posts, I told myself to scope it only with simple people whom we encounter in our day to day life - but helplessly I am drawn in making this post about great people with an air of simplicity.

Well, just one more post to go in this series.....Stay tuned

Love // Suren
