It's Peter Pan's birthday! The never-ageing Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan turns 72 in human years today. While we love to celebrate birthdays, we also believe it is a good time to reflect one's achievements in life. And who is more inspirational a figure than Big B himself? No matter what kind of person you are, there are many valuable life lessons to learn from Mr. Bachchan's life:

5. Don't stop at nothing.

While filming the 1983 hit film Coolie, Amitabh Bachchan suffered a near fatal intestinal injury which caused him a lot of blood loss. But he didn't stop there. He finished shooting the same year (1982) and the film released soon after.

6. The best way is not the 'high' way.

Now, not only is he a shakahari to the core, the man doesn't believe in any sort of intoxication. It doesn't stop there though. Amitabh Bachchan doesn't even endorse alcoholic beverages or cigarette companies onscreen.
