He gave some perspective on how both talent and attitude are significant in one's life in the twenty-first century by giving the example of two great cricketers Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli. His precise observations regarding talent and attitude state that while talent will take us places, attitude shall push us towards the objective. He used the mythological tale of Ramayana that building of Ram Setu to teach us self-discipline.
