I had the privilege of watching interviews of two successful people from different industries from across the world on TV today morning.
The first was Michael Douglas. The celebrity Hollywood actor was quite candid and very lucid. One thing that struck me was his mentioning " I try to have with me for my projects, the best possible actors, technicians and directors. There is no question of ego or insecurity here. The only objective is to make a very good movie. Other things are irrelevant "....................Quite correct. Group goals always takes precedence over individual goals.
On switching to a Malayalam Channel, the famous cartoonist Yesudasan was heard explaining how the famous cartoonist Shankar influenced him in his formative years. Most of the cartoonist have a habit of concentrating on the face (head) of the individual portrayed in the cartoon and would not pay much attention to the other aspects of the body like legs, hand, fingers, dress etc. Shankar advised him to be perfect, pay very close attention to even the slippers being worn and then caricature the individual. This quest for perfection was the hallmark of Shankar's cartoons and also of Yesudasan's.........Something to be learned from this too.
We can apply both to our daily life. Can't we? Will make us much better persons
