विनम्रता में शक्ति - The Most Powerful are the Most Humble
Here's an amazing story that will teach you the greatest secret of success: True power comes with humility!
When Hanuman was young, he was very powerful. He could fly, change his size, and had incredible strength. One day, he saw the Sun in the sky and thought it was a delicious mango! He jumped all the way up to catch the Sun!
Can you imagine? A child trying to eat the Sun! The gods were worried. They had to stop him, so they used their powers. Young Hanuman fell down and got hurt. To protect him from misusing his powers, the gods made him FORGET his own strength!
For many years, Hanuman lived like an ordinary person. He didn't know he could fly, he didn't know he could lift mountains! He became very humble and simple.
Later, when Rama needed someone to jump across the ocean to find Sita, everyone was worried. "Who can cross such a big ocean?" That's when wise Jambavan said to Hanuman: "Son, you have forgotten your own power! You are the son of Wind God! You can fly! You can cross any ocean!"
The moment Hanuman remembered his power, what did he do? Did he become proud? Did he say "Oh yes, I'm so great!"? NO! He remained humble and simply said, "I will serve Lord Rama with these powers."
In corporate world, we meet two types of people:
Guess which type becomes successful? Always Type 2!
Kumar was a skilled carpenter in a small town. He could make beautiful furniture, but he never boasted about it. When people praised him, he always said, "God gave me this skill, I am just doing my work."
One day, a big hotel owner came to town looking for someone to furnish his entire hotel. He asked around, and someone told him about Kumar. The hotel owner said, "But I also heard about Vijay, he says he's the best carpenter in the region!"
So the owner visited both: Vijay's shop had his certificates and awards all over the walls. Vijay boasted, "I'm the best! I've done projects for ministers!" Kumar's shop was simple. Kumar quietly showed his work and said, "Sir, please check the quality and decide."
Guess who got the contract? Kumar! The hotel owner said: "Vijay talks too much about himself. Kumar's work speaks for itself. I trust humble people more."
Today, Kumar has a big furniture business. Humility brought him success!
Anjali and Rohit both joined the company as Management Trainees. Both were smart and hardworking. But after 2 years, Anjali became Team Leader while Rohit was still in the same position. Why?
Rohit's approach: "I completed this project!" "I solved this problem!" "I'm the reason for success!" He took all credit and never thanked his team.
Anjali's approach: "Our team completed this project!" "Thanks to everyone's help, we solved this!" "I learned from my seniors." She gave credit to others and stayed humble.
What happened? Senior management noticed: Rohit may be skilled but he's difficult to work with. Anjali is skilled AND humble - perfect for leadership! Humble people make better leaders because they respect their team!
