Moral of the story - Be humble, it costs nothing
Amitabh Bacchan says...
"At the peak of my career, 
I was once travelling by 
Airplane. The passenger 
next to me was elderly. 
Dressed in a simple shirt 
and pants, he appeared 
middle class but seemed 
to be well educated. 
Other passengers kept 
glancing at me, but this 
gentleman appeared to be 
unconcerned of me... 
He was reading his 
newspaper, looking out of 
the window, and when tea 
came, he sipped it quietly. 
Trying to strike a conversation, 
I smiled. The man courteously 
smiled back and said 'Hello'. 
We got talking and I brought 
the subject to cinema and 
asked, 'Do you watch films?' 
The man replied, 'Oh, very few. 
I did see one many years ago.' 
I mentioned that I worked in 
films myself. The man said, 
'Oh, that’s nice. What do you 
do?'  I replied, 'I am an actor ' 
The man nodded, 'Oh,  that's 
wonderful!'  That was it...  
When we landed, I held out 
my hand and said, 
'It was good to travel 
with you. By the way, 
my name is Amitabh Bacchan !' 
The man shook my hand 
and smiled, "Thank you... 
I am J. R. D. Tata!"
I learned, no matter how big you are, there is always someone *bigger*.
*Be humble, it costs nothing.*
