Gandhi's 10 Commandments

How big a factor was Gandhi's philosophy in enabling India's freedom? How do you practice your Philosophy? How does your self-expression impact your society and world?

Inspired by Mohandas Karamachand Gandhi's thoughts, Henrik Edberg posted Gandhi’s Top 10 Fundamentals for Changing the World:

1. Change yourself.
2. You are in control.
3. Forgive and let it go.
4. Without action you aren’t going anywhere. More tips on this at How to Take More Action: 9 Powerful Tips.
5. Take care of this moment. More at 8 Ways to Return to the Present Moment.
6. Everyone is human.
7. Persist.
8. See the good in people and help them. More at Do You Make These 10 Mistakes in a Conversation?
9. Be congruent, be authentic, be your true self.
10. Continue to grow and evolve.

The last one quotes Gandhi:

”Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to
maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false
position.”

The fourth one quotes : “An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.”

Hmm..let us get some practice on the above ten points now....

Which ones are you planning to practice?

Take the Chill Pill!

I was thinking, "Why are people running around?"

In fact, Why DO ANYTHING at all?

Then I realized, Leisure is my favorite occupation!

Let us see what people have said about this...

Agnes Repplier supports me:
It is in his pleasure that a man really lives;
it is from his leisure that he constructs the true fabric of self

Laurence J. Peter go ahead and motivates the lazy bum inside me:
The best intelligence test is what we do with our LEISURE

However, Gene Perret tries to warn!
Leisure: A fancy word for people who don't want to admit they're bored.

Let me choose Thomas Hobbes

Leisure is the mother of Philosophy.

AAAHHH....Philosophy, the ULTIMATE LUXURY!

What say?
