As the nation pays tribute to Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi on his 148th birth anniversary on October 2, we must sit back and ponder at the values and principles that he stood for all his life. Truth, non-violence, austerity, minimalistic and simple life style, perseverance, strength of character was his hallmark. He is one of the greatest leaders who have shaped and influenced world’s history. With his unshakable faith in himself and the people, humility, conviction and love for the nation, he showed the world that true strength lies not in brawn but brain, not in controlling but serving the people, not in revenge but forgiveness and not in changing the world but changing yourself. He once said: “I claim to be an average man of less than average ability. I have not the shadow of a doubt that any man or woman can achieve what I have, if he or she would make the same effort and cultivate the same hope and faith.” The message is loud and clear that even a person with average skills can achieve amazing feats provided he is committed and makes consistent efforts towards his goal. We must imbibe these qualities to achieve success in all your endeavour’s; this only would be a worthy tribute to the revered leader.
