Leading with Courage

One day, Gandhi was traveling by train when he was thrown off the train for refusing to move to a segregated coach reserved for "colored" people. This incident deeply impacted Gandhi and motivated him to fight against discrimination and injustice.

Gandhi went on to become a prominent figure in India's independence movement, using his philosophy of non-violent resistance to peacefully protest against British rule. He was arrested several times, but continued to advocate for Indian independence and social justice.

Gandhi's leadership and commitment to non-violence inspired millions of people around the world, including Martin Luther King Jr. who used Gandhi's philosophy to fight for civil rights in the United States.

Gandhi's story serves as a reminder that leaders can bring about positive change by standing up for what is right, even in the face of adversity.

The Power of a Positive Mindset:

  In a small village, there was a young boy named Jack who had a dream of becoming a successful entrepreneur. He was full of ideas and enthusiasm, but he often found himself facing self-doubt and negative thoughts. Whenever he encountered a setback or criticism, he would become discouraged and question his abilities. One day, Jack met an old wise man who noticed his struggles. The wise man shared a story that would change Jack's perspective forever. "There once was a village plagued by a severe drought," the wise man began. "The fields were dry, and the villagers were losing hope. But amidst the despair, there was a farmer who remained positive."

He believed that with determination and a positive mindset, he could overcome the drought." "Months passed, and...

Once, during a gathering of young students, former President of India, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, shared an inspiring short story: "There was a little girl who loved to fly kites. She would spend hours crafting beautiful kites and then run to the fields to watch them soar high in the sky. One day, while flying her kite, she noticed an eagle gracefully gliding above her. Mesmerized by its elegance, she wished she could fly as freely as the eagle. Driven by her desire, the little girl approached a wise old man and asked, 'Sir, how can I fly like an eagle?' The old man smiled and replied, 'To fly like an eagle, you must first believe in yourself. Have faith in your abilities and never doubt your potential. Just as an eagle spreads its wings and takes flight, you too must embrace the vastness of your dreams and soar with determination.' The little girl listened attentively, her eyes sparkling with hope. The old man continued, 'Remember, my child, that the j...

Perception-set it right

  During one monsoon season, it rained and rained in Chitravathi, a little village by a mighty river. It rained so hard that the river swelled up. Huge waves lashed against the riverbanks and carried away trees, houses and big chunks of earth. The villagers were really scared and prayed hard for the rains to stop. When finally the skies cleared, one by one people emerged from their homes.  One of them was Raju. He walked down to the riverside. There he saw something that made him rub his eyes in disbelief. Why, a huge black rock had appeared there out of nowhere! And what was more, the rock looked exactly like the head of Ganesha, the god with the elephant head. Raju immediately prostrated himself in front of the rock. ‘Ganesha not only heard our prayers and made the rains go away, he has come himself to protect us!’ Raju shouted to no one in particular. ‘I must tell everyone about this!’ he yelled and ran back to the village to shape the news.  Next came Ravi verman, the...
