Voted as a greatest star of Stage or Screen by BBC News online users in 1999, Amitabh Bachchan needs no introduction. He is an inspiration and role-model for millions of people across the globe. Apart from winning THREE National Film Awards as best actor, he has won numerous other awards and honours. I have learned EIGHT things from this legend, which will remain with me for rest of my life.
Freedom is Discipline – Freedom is all about discipline. Have structure in life. Be on time. Keep your words and commitment. Do what you say and say what you do.
Stay Focused – Focus is very important in life. Identify your strengths. Know your weaknesses. Focus on the core. Strengthen your strengths so much that people find no time to focus on your weaknesses. Each one of us has a trait which is unique and core to our existence. Don’t let yourself deviate from your focus.
Be a Student of Life – Life is a teacher. No matter how old you get, you should not stop learning. Don’t limit yourself. Don’t create any hindrance for your learning – not your age, not your status, gender, location or religion.
Spend time on YOU – Your health and fitness is very important. Stay fit. Take out time for yourself. Take care of your body. Exercises, yoga, meditation, running, or walking, do anything you need to do to stay healthy. Develop healthy eating habits. Let go of any habit that might harm your health.
Keep Confidentiality – Irrespective of the choice of your profession, you often get access to information which is confidential. You must know what you need to share and how much you need to share. Don’t disclose any information to anybody which you are not supposed to share. Maintain secrecy. Maintain confidentiality.
Learn from your mistakes – We are human being. We all are prone to mistakes. Making mistakes is acceptable. Learn from your mistakes and don’t repeat them again.
Be your own brand ambassador – Howsoever small or large, you are your own brand. You are likely to be followed by your family and your kids. Set good examples for them to follow you. Stay accountable for your behaviour. Be honest in your dealings.
Criticism – No matter what you do, some people are likely to criticize you. They will harm you, hurt you and humiliate you. Let them do what they do. Ignore them. Don’t respond to negative criticism. Learn from it, if you need to, but always stay honest and true to yourself.
It takes a lot to be Amitabh Bachchan. Many people tried to copy him. However, there cannot be any other Amitabh Bachchan.

I appreciate and endorse the views of Nathrao. Let us stop worshipping all and sundry in any way. Our real heroes are those who guard our nation's borders 24/7 under incessant weather conditions. We can learn a lot of HR issues from their working conditions.

Hello Nathrao Sir,
I partially agree, sir, but here I would like to share something with my seniors. Please correct me if I am wrong anywhere.
I want to share that anyone can idolize anyone in this world. Even I idolize a few people; one of them is my first boss, who is an entrepreneur. I also idolize my sister-in-law, who is excelling in her career. Coming back to the point, the most important aspect is to follow someone in life. By following someone you strongly believe in, it will lead you to become a leader one day, personally and professionally, or in the areas where you are an expert. Whether it be a film star, cricketer, journalist, parent, any family member, or even an HR Personnel.

Dear Friends,
A lot is being said; the attraction in visuals is more implicit. We have Chief Ministers from the film industry and disciplined ministers from various walks of life. The late Dr. Abdul Kalam is immortal, yet worshiping the personnel guarding our country is an undeniable fact. We cannot ignore the film stars. Some stars are putting their hard-earned money into public causes that we may not be aware of. Here, I am not interested in listing names and explanations; we must focus on their traits and not just their lives to follow.
Smt. Sania Mirza, the star of Tennis, has also worked hard to achieve success. We should not doubt their caliber for hard work, concentration, and perseverance in reaching success.
On the other hand, we have corrupt politicians who serve as examples of how democracy can be abused. How can we guard our country against these politicians? There are families deeply involved in swindling money by trading key posts of our country. What should we do with these politicians? Should we eliminate them overnight to free the country? Can the personnel guarding the country save us from these corrupted politicians?
Therefore, it is not just about praising; it is about learning the best traits from good individuals, whoever they may be.
We see beggars, we see trusts making false claims for their benefit. However, the Nobel Prize winner Shri Kailash Satyarthi is unique for his selfless service to children. This is a trait we must teach the student community for a better future and a better life. "Where there is a will, there is a way." The Mouth and Foot Painting Artists earn a living by selling their paintings, setting an example of self-respect in living. There are many such examples in our country. Let us boldly praise someone who embodies these traits, like Amitabh Bachchan. Let us not see him merely as a film character; if we do, it is a fault of our perception, which is very thin and closed.
This subject is not up for argument. Where there is good, we should acknowledge it, and where there is falsehood, we should reject it and have the courage to pinpoint the truth.
Best of luck...
