“it is only natural to congratulate the person who has gone past you.” believes Sunil Gavaskar. So when Sachin Tendulkar equaled his record of 34 Test centuries he sent him a crate of 34 champagne bottles. When Allan Border reached 10,000 Test runs, he sent him a congratulatory fax. Conversely, when Gavaskar surpassed the 10,000 runs record set by Geoffrey Boycott, there was no response from Boycott. The reason - “(he) … thinks he is ½% better than me”.
Point to Ponder
Acknowledging the work of others calls for a healthy self-esteem & humility. It's also a significant marker of great Leadership.
