What are some examples of humility you have seen in a person?
I came across these images of Google Ceo and thought this deserves to reach our youth many of whom seem to have lost touch with middle class values.
Sundar Pichai was born in Madurai in a middle-class family, worked his way to graduate from IIT Kharagpur, joined Google in 2004 and in 2015 became it's CEO.
This is him when he visited his hostel room at IIT Kharagpur.
Recalling a funny anecdote from his college days where he called someone Abey Saale. “As a freshman, couple of weeks into being here I came from Chennai. I had learnt Hindi in school but never spoke much. Just listening to other people, I thought that’s how you address people. One day there was someone in the mess, and I had to call him, and I called him Abey Saale. In my first couple of weeks I thought you call people that way. Next thing, I know folks in the mess were quite upset, and they closed down the mess temporarily.”

Here is what Google founders wrote about Sundar Pichai,
"Sundar brings humility and a deep passion for technology to our users, partners and our employees every day. He's worked closely with us for 15 years, through the formation of Alphabet, as CEO of Google, and a member of the Alphabet Board of Directors. He shares our confidence in the value of the Alphabet structure, and the ability it provides us to tackle big challenges through technology. There is no one that we have relied on more since Alphabet was founded, and no better person to lead Google and Alphabet into the future."
Reaching such heights and still being grounded is truly a sign of a humble human being.
