Being polite and forgiving are the assets of great people

Before giving any particular statement and then preceding our talk on that I would like to site an example.
I studied in a school which was famous for imparting Indian culture on students. We used to have one hour prayer sessions in open ground and used to sit on jute material thin carpet while praying; no matter its hot summer or chilly winter. Our school administration was very strict and our principal sir was the real example for that. His name was “Govind Ram Aggrawal” but we used to call him “Pappu” which means idiot kid. Our school was from sixth class to twelth class. One day principal sir went to sixth class for general inspection and to check how things are going on. He asked one student to tell his name. the student replied “Sir your name is Pappu”. The whole class laughed. Principal Sir realized that the student might have heard by some of his seniors and being a kid he would have thought that it’s the real name. He got angry but he didn’t show it and very calmly he told the student “Dear my name is Govind Ram Aggrawal and not Pappu. By hearing this, the kid realized his mistake; and he apologized for the same.
