Be the change you want to see in the world. Let's read and reflect on the man called Mohandas Karamchand
Gandhi. This name of his is not familiar but I'm referring to Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi led India to independence and inspired the movement of civil rights and freedom across the world.

He stood for non violent civil disobedience as an expatriate lawyer in south Africa. In 1915 he return to India to mobilize peasants, farmers, and urban labourers to protest against land-tax and discrimination of the British. Gandhi's vision of an independent India was based on religious pluralism, he undertook several fasts unto death to promote religious harmony.

He was imprisoned for years both in South Africa and India. He stood for the right of the vulnerable just like Nelson Mudiba Mandala and Kwame Nkrumah. On 30 January, 1948 he was assassinated by firing 3 bullets into his chest. Now few lessons.

1. Believe that there is a way to make a change in the society you find yourself. Believe is a great tool you need.

2. One person can effect a change. The truth still remains, one person. One rotten groundnut can make you split all out. Lee Kwan Yew did it for Singapore. You can also be the change you want to see.

3. Those who hate you will celebrate you even after your death. In the 1960s Nkrumah was ostracized but in the year 2000 he was given the titled "African of the millennium."

4. Be courageous because standing for What's is right is not for the faint hearted.

5. Don't live your life for yourself. You represent more than yourself. Leaders have scares to show, Jesus showed his scares to Thomas.
 If you are not leading anyone remember you are leading yourself. Thank you for reading. I salute you.
