00:00You mentioned a few qualities that the leaders should have, be it in politics, be it in corporate or communities itself.
00:08But at the same time, we want to have humility as well.
00:11But it seems that humility is seen as a weakness in leadership, especially in politics and business.
00:17Do you think that's still the case?
00:19You see, there are many things that I could say on the subject because we have, among other people, one of the world leaders coming in here and humility is not his trademark.
00:33No, it is not.
00:36And for some obscure reason, you know, people find that fascinating.
00:40But to me, you know, I have been, I grew up at a time where I looked up to people like Mahatma Gandhi, Mandela, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa.
00:53These are people that shape my values and my, you know, thinking processes.
00:57And I'm grateful that I was, in my lifetime, able to be touched by these people.
01:04So, I don't believe that, you know, people who do not appreciate or understand humility last very long in any sense of the word.
01:14History has been built over and over again in the legacy of people who understood humility.
01:21Humility is not a weakness.
01:23It is a strength.
01:24And people sometimes forget that being humble does not mean you have to be meek.
01:30You don't have to be worried or fearful.
01:33Humility requires courage.
01:36Humility requires deep strength.
01:39And humility is something that all our leaders right now can use a lot more of today.
