1To be a Somebody, Remain a Nobody Comprehending The gist of K. S. Ram's essay implies the necessity of remaining down-to-earth and humble in spite of success. In fact, it is the humble which always rise to the top and remain there without the fear of a downslide. This is because they are not proud and egoistic—the two main debilitating factors of the human mind. However, in the early stages of one's life, people are driven by that urge for success and recognition, which at times, traps them into the miry bog. The author cites the examples of Emily Dickinson, the famous American poet of the nineteenth century; Rahim, the famous Hindi poet of medieval India; J. S. Mill, the famous English philosopher and economist; and Mahatma Gandhi as people who maintained humility all their lives, resulting in their legacies still remaining even after years of their death. There are many others, who were equally talented and who did enjoy a fair amount of success in their own lifetime but ultimately got lost in oblivion because their egos got the better of them. Therefore, the emphasis on remaining a 'nobody' as it always helps to shun the limelight and lead a peaceful existence. This allows people to focus on their work properly and thus sustain their reputations. Lastly, the author also implicitly says that proper parental guidance is also necessary in nurturing talent because In most cases, it is their over-protectiveness and extra show of support that leads to killing the talent of their children. One should not be blind about the faults of their children nor should one get into the minds of their wards the feeling of being extraordinary and therefore being 'more equal than others', as it happens with so many writers, sports personalities, actors, artists, musicians and others who consequently, end up as failures. The great British economist, C. Northcote Parkinson, also examined a similar pattern in the downfall of great empires, which started the moment they began to display their grandeur and might in front of the world.
