New Delhi: Today is 2nd October, i.e. the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. On this day in the year 1869, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born in Porbandar, Gujarat. In schools, colleges and government offices across the country, people remember their 'Bapu' with devotion. Gandhiji's struggle started by raising his voice against apartheid in South Africa. This journey later became the fight for India's independence. He led the country in movements like Champaran Satyagraha, Non-Cooperation Movement, Dandi March and 'Quit India'. The most surprising thing was that he forced the most powerful government in the world to bow down not with weapons, but with the power of truth and non-violence.
Bapu's life was very simple, but his thoughts are equally useful even today. Be it elders or today's Gen Z generation, everyone gets something from his teachings. His message was clear that even the biggest difficulties can be overcome if the intention is strong.
10 life changing thoughts
Start with yourself: Whatever change you want in the world, first adopt it yourself.
Power of Humility: You can shake the whole world even by being quiet and humble.
Nonviolence is bravery: This is not the path of the weak, but of the courageous. One day the thought of revenge will blind everyone.
Keep learning: Live as if tomorrow is the last day, but learn as if you have to live forever.
Real Strengths: A man's strength is not in his body, but in his unwavering willpower.
Learn to forgive: Hate the mistake, not the person making the mistake. Forgiveness is the hallmark of strong people.
The service is recognized: The best way to find yourself is to serve others.
Thinking makes a person: Whatever we think, we gradually become.
Control on greed: The earth can satisfy the needs of all, but not the greed of any one.
True freedom: Freedom which does not have the right to make mistakes and learn from them is incomplete.
These thoughts of Gandhiji are not bookish things, they are lessons useful in everyday life. If we adopt even one of these things on this Gandhi Jayanti, it will be a true tribute to Bapu.
