This is just a ‘Thought to Ponder’ in the backdrop of the coveted Olympic Medals that ace Indian Sports Women have been bringing to India through hard training, strength of character and sheer grit. Such moments of Glory are not just for them but for entire nation.
It brought back the memory of world famous all time winner Muhammad Ali. To be the “Greatest of All Time,” boxing legend Muhammad Ali says you have to believe in yourself. It’s a lesson his parents taught him. When he said “I am still the Greatest”, it does not seem pompous, as he had character that was of a authentic, purpose-driven leader. He spoke out against the tyranny that was segregation. Ali treated all people humanely. He indeed has been the “Greatest of All Time”.
How do you recognize the “Greatest of All Time” around you?
One can be “The Greatest of All time” in a particular state/national/international level competition. One can also be ‘The Greatest’ in their chosen field of interest, profession, skill, in-fact any area. Think of it, one can even say on any given day, I have delivered my best ‘Master Performance’ -“Greatest of all Time”. The recognition that comes with being ”Greatest of all time” is deeply satisfying, it does not come overnight, but is a work persistence, perseverance and practice, against all odds. The work that is ‘Greatest of all time” oozes honesty, authenticity, strength of character and principles and an unwavering ‘Humane’ element. You feel a sense of awe and personal pride in other person’s ‘Greatest of all Time” work.
The Business Tycoon who created “Greatest Conglomerate of all time” and booked profits by unfair means echoes the old TV ad slogan in our minds ‘Neighbour’s envy, owner’s pride‘.
But when you actually see “Greatest of All Time” you feel a sense of oneness and what ECHOES loudly is “OWNER’s PRIDE, NEIGHBOUR’s PRIDE”
