A famous person I admire is - Gandhiji. An article about why I think he is an inspiration is written below:
Gandhiji is known as the father of the nation. Everyone knows him as Gandhibapu. His contribution to India's freedom struggle cannot be ignored.
Gandhiji is well-known for his practice of non-violence and always standing up for Satya, i.e. truth.
There is one incident from his life that inspired me much and which cannot be rebuked even today.
Once a mother came and asked him to advise her son to quit eating jaggery. Gandhiji asked the mother to come again next week. As the mother went there the next week, Gandhiji explained to the son to quit eating jaggery and its side effects too. The mother was perplexed. She asked why he did not teach this last week itself.
The reply of Gandhiji is a lesson for every one of us, "Last week even I was eating jaggery. Then how can I advise someone else to not eat it? Now, I have quit eating jaggery since last week. I cannot preach someone to do something which I am not doing myself."
Thus, Gandhiji was a firm believer in practice before you preach.
And this is the learning that I am inspired by the most. It is easy to give empty advice to others. But one should first practice the preachings we are giving to others, oneself.
