3. The story shows that it is not the big things only that really count in life.
In fact all great people built their character by doing small day-to-day good
actions. Mahatma Gandhiji, once was standing in the open compartment
door of a speeding train. He was lost in his thoughts when one of his
'chappals' slipped from one of his feet and fell down. The moment he
realized it was gone, he dropped the other one too.
4. On being asked why he did so, he replied, "One chappal is of no use to me,
nor to him who finds the dropped one. So he might as well have the full
pair." This incident shows that nothing was too insignificant for Gandhiji.
5. Believe firmly that even one person can change the entire world. He may
not be able to do a whole lot physically to change the world, but that person
has the power to inspire and set an example for others which may affect
the outcome of any situation.
