25 Greatest Global Living Indians

• We are citizens of the world, we are made of the same fabric as the rest of humanity
  
  
• Count your blessings and be grateful for the little things
  
  
• What matters the most in life is good health and a good night's sleep. But take risks and don't fear failure

• Intolerance is violence and accepted intolerance is violence with the acquiescence of society. There's no point of wrapping yourself up in the colours of the flag if you don't realize the flag has more than one colour in it
• Be yourself because really there is no one else you can be
• I advise you for your next life, choose your parents well because they make you who you are

• Pursue your interests and keep your options open when there are setbacks.
  
  
• None of us do anything by ourselves. Even these great cricket stars you've met today have had great chances and mentors.
  
  
• Just as people have helped us along, once we've reached a certain stage it's our job to help others

1. Have to be grateful to the Almighty, parents, teachers and everyone who works for us and with us to make us what we become
2. Don't try to be someone else. There will always be someone taller, better looking, with better six packs. But be yourself because everyone else is taken.
3. This was told to me by someone who's very tall and has a baritone voice(everybody laughs and looks at Amitabh Bachchan): Before you enter a public space, make sure your zip is not undone.

• Courage is the most important attribute off a great leader
• Create an environment of fairness and justice, openness to new ideas
• Leaders will have to be trustworthy first before becoming high performers

• Dream big. If you focus on the goal, you will overcome obstacles
  
  
• There is no substitute for hard work
  
  
• It is very important to be positive and optimistic. Dismiss the prophets of doom, believe in yourself and believe in India
  
  

1. Be a lifelong student
   
   
2. Whatever you do, throw yourself into it
   
   
3. Help others rise

1. We need to recognise that there is no justification for poverty in this world
2. Diversity is the key to life. Our world is richer when cultures and sub-cultures flourish
3. Anubandh - correlation is the key to existence

1. "Man ka ho toh achha, na ho to zyaada achha." These were the words Big B was told by his father, and it means that if things are not happening according to your will then they are happening to divine will
2. Never allow critics to get you down
3. Never a borrower, and when you lend make sure you'll never get it back

• When we started India's first 24 hour news channel 15 years ago, you trusted us
• When we started 'The World This week', we were novices...but you put your trust in us.
• When we started 'The World This Week', the only Indian channel to report on international news like China opening up and the break up of the USSR, we were novices but you trusted us.
• Politicians are becoming better looking because of being on TV, they are better groomed. (Farooq Abdullah seen nodding and smiling)
