Ratan Tata said in the video, "The greatest pleasure I've had is trying to do something, everybody says could not be done."

The video is being loved by the netizens who are praising his humility. The video has so far garnered nearly 1700 likes and retweeted by around 250 people.

While reacting over the video, one netizen said, "True. So when the Automobile industry told Ratan Tata that manufacturing a passenger car under Rs. 1,00,000 was not possible, he went ahead and manufactured the "impossible". He executed the project very passionately and proved all those who said "it can't be done" wrong."

Another one wrote, " A lot more than a normal man can think !! There has to be something like super power to have this kind of a soul on the earth , to do so much in so many ways!! He only knows the prices he might have paid for practising the ethics. May god be with him."

Let's look at some of the motivating mantras by Ratan Tata which are no less than guiding lights:

1. "Ups and downs in life are very important to keep us going because a straight line, even in an ECG. means we are not alive."
2. "Business need to go beyond the interest of their companies to the communities they serve."
3. "If you want to walk fast, walk alone. But if you want to walk far, walk together."
4. "Take the stones people throw at you. And use them to build a monument."
5. "Power and wealth are not two of my main stakes."
6. "None can destroy iron, but its rust can. Likewise, none can destroy a person, but his own mindset can."
7. "I may have hurt some people along the way, but I would like to be seen as somebody who has done his best to do the right thing for any situation and not compromised."
