Words of Wisdom of an "Average man"

Chairing the 30th Annual General Meeting for the last time on May 11, 2011,                       Mr. N R Narayana Murthy said :

The crucial things we have to do are: be firm in pursuing our values, recognize our weakness, embrace meritocracy, be open-minded about learning from people better than us, learn from our mistakes and not repeat them, be humble, honest and courteous, be firm in taking quick decisions.

He said,  "I am an average person with many below average attributes .......... my little story should be a confidence - booster for every average person in the world so that he or she can make a difference, at least in a small way, to this world ............innovation at every level and create a worthwhile vision and improve every day."
