My Insight on Gandhi…
It was a very difficult task to judge and describe the
character of Mahatama Gandhi in mere a few words, and the task become all the
more difficult as I had to describe him reading the first section. As the first
section only talks about his personal life and doesn’t give much on managerial
learning
To be very frank I don’t believe in Gandhi ji a lot. I am
not a follower of his ideas as I truly believe his ideas of non violence are
not applicable in today’s environment.
But it is imporatant on our part to let the process of
learning go and never end. We should be smart enough to learn and grasp from
things which we don’t believe and follow too. MY EXPERIMENTS WITH TRUTH.. the
book written by Mahatama Gandhi talks about his various phases of life and the
challenges that Gandhiji took up in his life fighting against unjust.
The important overall learnings from the first section which
I found out was… Always believe in yourself and follow your heart. Gandhiji
later became an icon and the Father of the nation but during his childhood he
had also done things which he was not so proud of. A few being eating meat and
smoking and also stealing, the other important lesson to be learnt is, If you
have done some bad deed, be prepared for the consicequences, be brave enough to
accept your mistake. Telling the truth is also equally important. As it is very
commonly said you don’t have to remember what you said if you are telling the
truth.
So to summarize I can say the most important things that I
learnt from the first section of Gandhiji’s autobiography was to believe in
yourself, have faith and never to lie. If we follow these simple principles we
surely will attain success in life
