Infosys co-founder and tech mogul N Narayana Murthy shared life lessons with young school children at the Mount Everest School in Byatarayanapura on September 3, as part of the Times of India’s ‘Teach for India’ Leaders Week, the Times of India reported.
Answering a child’s question on how to become like him, Murthy said he would like the child to become better, the report said. “I do not want you to become like me…I want you to become better than me for the greater good of the nations,” he replied.
Murthy spoke for an hour to school children from classes 7 and 8 and shared life lessons with them, including the need for discipline and teamwork, the importance of giving and being a responsible citizen, as per the report.
On discipline…
Sharing his own experience of studying at a government school and being “taught by teachers much like yours,” Murthy said he was good at science and maths but weak in civics, geography, and history, the report said. However, it was his father who encouraged time management and discipline, which led to him securing the fourth rank in his state in the SSLC exam. Murthy credited his father for inculcating the habit and shaping his life, it added.
