When you are weak, are not confident in your own selves, not clear in your goals, and are confused;
then, you fear others, and even your own people.

While we were pursuing certain research in a highly specialised field in aerospace science,
concurrently others were trying to closely monitor and follow our techniques;
seeing this we used to get concerned, and used to approach our bosses, and indicate our fears;
they used to tell us: we are on solid footing, and there is nothing to worry about their attempts, let them learn from us, and yet we would be ahead of them;
we didn't know how to perceive and judge this, and how the bosses had confidence in themselves and us;
but, today even after five decades, we are still in the forefront in that technology in our country, and have generated results of research that are world class.
