HUMILITY SUBDUES EGO
ajesh and Manish are two friends with different attitudes about themselves. Rajesh thinks he can do everything just right and is superior to everyone else; while Manish is not very good at playing baseball but he is willing to try and work hard at it to better himself. So when it comes to a trophy for achievement, who should get it?

12 - Humility subdues Ego
Jain Education International
Rajesh, are you coming to the baseball practice? It's 6:30 and practice starts at 7:00am.
Wait a minute. I just have to say my prayers and I will be all set.
Okay, finish your prayers, and then we can go to baseball practice.
(After Manish finishes his prayers) Why do you even bother going to practice? You don't play very well; you miss more balls than you hit.
If I keep trying, maybe I will get better, Rajesh.
You would be better at one of the bases. All you have to do is stand there and let people run around you. You will never be good at anything. You'll never be as good as I am.
Today the coach is going to give out the outstanding baseball player award. I know I won't get it, but it will be interesting to see who gets it.
I know that you won't get it, but I will. I'm the best.
I hope you get it, if you think you deserve it.
Sure I deserve it. I'm Rajesh, the best and the greatest. I never do anything wrong and I am good all the time. I am proud to be the best baseball player on the team.
Sometimes, I do things that are wrong. I am sorry that I am not as good as the others, but I will try harder to do better.
