This weeked I got a chance to meet some of the people I'll admire and look upto for the rest of my life. I met achievers ..... the real men who spent their entire lives for a cause, climbed new heights and yet don't have an iota of ego. One of the most brilliant people who are either oblivious to their intellect or have developed such a strength and maturity in their character that it keeps them grounded no matter what. Authorities in their field who needed no ego massaging to show the world what they deserve. Brings me to think of the people back home which is full of those holding half baked baseless knowledge but an ego that overrides whatever good sense they ever had. Made me think whether its more difficult to acquire the knowledge or the fantastic attitude in life. Humility which was the essence of our culture has just disappeared somewhere. The generation of baby boomers though went through hardships when rose to a higher level forgot modesty in the bargain. The generation X with the imense competition and lesser employment anyways felt they achieved greatness when they got even moderate recognition. The onus lies on us the generation Y to bring back the culture of moral and behavioural integrity back to this country. We need to learn to grow as professionals and individuals on a continous basis or else it would be just another generation living in the illusions of greatness.
