Necessary character for a long lasting fame

In this world , there are many people who earn fame in their own subjects. Some people remain popular for a short period and some throughout their life . How is this possible ?

Once a trainer when training to business entrepreneurs asked to "Write down your favorite cricketer , your favorite business tycoons name and the character which they like in them". On reviewing the answers , it was observed among 80% choices were Sachin Tendulkar in cricket and J.R.D Tata among businessmen. It is surprising that both these great men have a common character of Politeness.

Sachin Tendulkar
A short achievement brings pride to oneself. For a long term achievement brings in politeness to oneself. Being in form for 24 years , earning the fame which many great cricket captains did not earn , being popular among millions of cricket fans , still being generous and polite is what makes Sachin Tendulkar a great person and a role model.

Two year back, Sachin has visited chennai to attend some program organised for orphans and Old aged people (Anathashram). In that meet , thousands of people had come to see Sachin on stage. One of Sachin's friend who shared the stage next to him , pointed him a lady and informed sachin "Her name is Saraswathi Vaidhyanathan . She is 87 years old. She is now old and cannot walk properly. She is a big fan of Sachin. She has never missed even one game of Sachin. Not only she used to watch international matches during mid nights , early morning - she used to keep a record of Sachin's cricket run scorings."




On hearing this Sachin immediately got off the stage and approached towards Mrs.Saraswathi. People were took by a surprise.  Then Sachin greeted her with Pranama and spoke "You are a senior person , You have not only watched my games but also have records about them. Your such interests have blessed me to achieve more. ".

Sachin and Saraswathi Vaidhyanathan
She never had dreamt that Sachin would meet her in this form. It was just like Shabari met Ram in Ramayana. How Shabari's devotion towards Ram had brought him towards Shabahri, the love towards sachin's cricket had brought Sachin towards Mrs.Saraswathi.She daid Sachin, it was her pleasure to meet him. Sachin in reply said It is  his pleasure to meet her. She took out a small Ganapathi Idol and presented to Sachin and said - you are like my Grandson , please take this Ganapathi which I had worshiped for years, let this bring you more success."

Sachin received the present , immediately touched her feet and took her blessings and said your blessings should always be with me. This behavior not only brought in tears of joy to Mrs.Saraswathi , but also to many who were present at the occasion. This is how a  great person remains in the heart of others.

We have to learn from our environment , isint it?  A fruit first beings being rough, then sour and then turns sweet. A erect tree branch after bearing a bunch of fruits leans. Hence there is a saying - Politeness comes from success - It also brings good fame throughout ones life.

How to run towards a problem - a short story

Have you heard of a saint and dog story anytime? This story has inspired many minds. It has induced strength and also ways to overcome problems.

Once a saint came to Himalayas. He wanted to visit all the temples there and collect information. Not only he visited temples, he used to collect history about the temples. He also had appointed a personal assistant and guider for this activity. Once the saint and his assistant went to a big temple. When the saint approached towards the temple big gates, he observed huge dogs tied to each gate. The dogs were looking like beasts and seem to look like having the strength of tiger. A very strong chain was used to tie them to the gates. The saint looking at the dogs took his steps back. His assistant informed him not to worry as the dogs are tied to the gates.

But the dogs kept barking continuously on seeing them. It started pulling out the chain desperately to get released from the chain. Their red eyes even turned red now. Anyone who would see these dogs would have definitely felt afraid. The assistant replied, “Sir, these are hunting dogs. If these find anyone, these they will encroach and rip them apart. But you don’t worry – they are tied to the gates with strong chains, they will not be able to come out”

The saint and his assistant entered into the temple and started their way towards the temple shrine. They suddenly heard some people voice saying “Oh, Oh my god . be careful , run , run !! “. The saint turned back hearing this and saw the dogs had somehow broke the chains and were running towards them at a rapid pace!! The dogs were sprinting like cheetahs while they headed towards the saint and seemed to encroach in no time.

At this moment, the saint started running. He started running putting his full efforts and strength. He did not run away from the dogs , but instead towards the dogs!! Guess what happened at this moment?

The dogs went by a surprise looking at the saint running towards them and run into confusion. Then went back to the gates where they were tied earlier. The watchman later tied the dogs with chains back to the gates.

The assistant who was seeing all this was astonished and asked the saint why he did like that. The saint replied – “In our life all our problems are like these dogs, if we run from them they will not leave us and be always behind creating issues, but once we face them and start running over them, they go out”

Most of us in our life spend most of our time fearing to something. When problems come, we may fear when we may lose out. Hence we always try to run away from problems. If we realize the above story, we understand the solution is not from running away from problems but instead facing them with full strength!
