Cricketer Rahul Dravid was awarded doctorate by Bangalore University, Rahul Dravid returned it.  Not only gave it back, but also gave a wonderful speech, he said - My wife is a doctor, she has spent countless days and days to get this title.  My mother is a professor of arts, she has waited fifty long years for this degree, persevering.  I worked hard to play cricket, but I didn't study that much, so how can I get this degree? 

Einstein was invited by the Israeli government to become the country's prime minister in 1952.  Einstein humbly said - I am a clumsy student of physics.  What do I mean by state management?

Perelman, a world-renowned mathematician, returned the Field Medal and prize money known as the Nobel Prize in Mathematics to the world.  He said - we had a very poor family.  We had to go on calculating to save mother's money.  Thus, I was able to show a little skill in mathematics.  Now there is no shortage, so what to do with so much money?

The modesty of these people bows down in honor and shame.  When we look at ourselves, we see the image of rude, conceited, arrogant people.  These people remind us again and again that being humble is not about getting smaller, it's about getting bigger.

Because we are small in our immodest arrogance, we grow in our repeated efforts to be modest.  The strangest truth in the world is - to grow up you have to be small, to be small you don't need to be big!!
