This is just a short note. A small message.
I see a lot of people take pride in everything except themselves. People who take pride in Sachin Tendulkar, taking his century to be their own, taking a hit movie of some actor to be their own, taking some singer's success to be their own. People boast of the greatness of their country and proudly say that they are great because they're citizens of some great country. What I think is, people start doing this when the have no reason to think good of themselves. Sachin doesn't have to boast to his friends that he opens the innings with Sehwag. He has enough reason to believe that he deserves everything.
It will make a huge difference when people start taking pride in themselves rather than in their idols. When they think that their own work commands even the smallest respect rather than the whole country bowing to their idols. For instance, one guy might live his entire life saying he's a fan of Sachin Tendulkar and just paining some Dhoni fan or a Yuvi fan. These guys think a Yuvi fan is an inferior creature and just being a fan of Sachin makes a person great. But when this guy starts thinking that his batting or his bowling is what makes him superior to the other guy and not being a fan of Sachin, it'd be an entirely different thing.
