My favorite leader of all time Mahatma Gandhi is the definition of change. To be able to deviate from the norms and to be able to make things happen. That is the is the best thing that Ive learned from this man of wisdom and humanity.
Thanks for posting this. I consider that it is everybody’s rights to be equally important.
Mother Teresa is one of the inspirational personality I have ever seen. Her social working quality have been one of the motivational factor for a lot of humans.
Mother Teresa’s “The Missionaries of Charity”, has inspired millions around the world. Her work has been recognised and acclaimed throughout the world.
God Bless her noble soul.
Yes, Gandhi is probably one of the most successful leaders ever.
Setting free a great country like India without violence is impressing..
Mahatma Gandhi’s approach to non- violence ( ahimsa )places him as a farsighted and sensitive man of peace.
He led a long nonviolent struggle against British rule in India, which eventually helped India win its independence in 1947. The birthday of Mahatma Gandhi ( Oct 2nd ) is observed as International Day of Non-Violence.
brilliant post!!!! i need to remember your quoted words from Eleanor Roosevelt “No one can make you feel inferior without your concent” am gonna have to write this out in big red letters and stick it on my wall
I have found this post very interesting. I like the way Mahatma Gandhi fought for the freedom and his thoughts were really impressive. With non-violence, he proved a lot.
Here, I liked Benjamin Franklin’s thought. That sounds really good.
