The elder sibling Vijay turns out to be a gangster, while the younger, Ravi becomes an honest cop. An informal meeting takes place under an overbridge. Vijay (played by Amitabh Bachhan) advises Ravi (played by Shashi Kapoor) to take a transfer. There is an intense argument between the two. Amitabh Bachchan launches into a lengthy diatribe and reminds Ravi of the wealth he owns (bungalow, cars, properties, bank balance) and challenges his brother, ‘What do you have?’. Millions of Indians will remember the iconic dialogue he delivered in response: ‘Mere Paas Maa Hai’ (I have Mother) signifying the importance of a mother as compared to material possessions. Vijay may appear to be successful, but it is Ravi who is most satisfied.
Why is it that success does not essentially bring satisfaction along, and vice versus? We are all aware of individuals and teams who find success in their multiple projects and pursuits, yet they feel they miss something. Success and satisfaction are related but distinct concepts.
Success leads to achieving a goal or objective, while satisfaction refers to a feeling of contentment or fulfillment. The former can be measured in different ways, such as by achieving financial or career goals, winning a competition, or completing a project. Success can provide a sense of accomplishment, boost confidence, and lead to further opportunities.
