8. According to him, the role model that inspired his career were: “: “Those days our role models were our teachers, both in school and university. They taught us to be inquisitive and articulate. You have to imagine a lower middle class family in a district headquarters in the '60s. My father used to tell us about the importance of putting public good before private good; mother would talk about sacrifice and truth. Beyond the basic values of life they didn't discuss too much about our careers.”
9. When asked what has instilled the quality of leadership in him, he said “My father ... was a great fan of Western classical music. On Sundays, he used to play music for an hour. One day I asked him: why should I listen to this alien music? He said: What appeals to me is that in a symphony there are over 100 people, each of whom is a maestro, but they come together as a team to play according to a script under this conductor and produce something divine. They prove that one plus one can be more than two. It's a great example of teamwork.”
