Mahatma Gandhi

Frodo and Frodo.

I've always wanted to see Ben Kingsley play Gandhi like he does in...

What's the...

Oh, Sexy Beast.

While an extroverted leader may inadvertently stifle initiative by imposing their own strong vision, an introverted leader is more likely to listen quietly, process feedback, and empower their team members to execute their ideas.

Historical figures like Mahatma Gandhi, Rosa Parks, and Eleanor Roosevelt demonstrate that quiet, persistent leadership born from deep conviction can change the world.

By recognizing and integrating these quiet strengths, organizations, schools, and families can cultivate a more harmonious, creative, and resilient society where everyone, regardless of their position on the introverted-extroverted spectrum, has the space to thrive.

For example, in corporate meetings, leaders can structuralize participation by sending out agendas in advance and allowing employees to submit written ideas rather than relying solely on spontaneous verbal debates.

him too.

But even earlier, Gandhi.

Always.

Yeah.

And so

we are taught about these nonviolent movements and taught about something.

Both of these cases, both of the things you mentioned when you mentioned what I mentioned, MLK and Gandhi are two primo examples of this, where we are taught in school one version of history that is inside of a tiny little bubble in and of itself is true.

Gandhi was a real proponent for nonviolent action.

To change is to think and act differently in the same circumstances in your life, which means the environment is no longer causing you to think, but you are thinking independent of the stimulus from your environment.

And by the way, that's what we admire about all great people in history, whether it was Martin Luther King or William Wallace or Gandhi.

They said, I have a dream or an idea, I have this vision, and I'm going to think and act as if it already is.

And if you can't see it because you're limited by your senses, you're being human.

1959 and 1960, the most important classroom of the civil rights movement is a church basement in Nashville.

The teacher is James Lawson, a divinity student who studied Gandhi's methods in India.

He runs workshops on how to be spat on, how to be burned with a cigarette, dragged off a stool, called everything, and not raised your hand.

His students were Diane Nash, John Lewis, Bernard Lafayette, James Bevel, C.T. Vivian, Marion Barry.

In fact, many individuals still today will use his writings to make their arguments for why they're not Christian.

But he recognized that Jesus was a historical figure and that he had compassion for the poor marginalized there's another fellow you may have heard of his name is Mahatma Gandhi how many of you ever heard of what Mahatma Gandhi said about Christ and Christians some of you have listen to this Mahatma Gandhi said I love your Christ however I do not like your Christians your Christians are so unlike your Christ You see, ancient individuals knew of Christ, modern individuals knew of Christ, and there are many different theories.

There are many individuals that have the merely human approach.

That's what we hear from Bart Ehrman or from the Stoic philosopher thousands of years ago, that Jesus is just an extraordinary teacher, a remarkable teacher, an influential historical figure, another historical religious figure, but that's it.

One is that it seems like Iran and Russia were making kind of like a renewed effort to get closer even than before.

But also, secondly, I think there was, tell me if I'm wrong, but it seems like there was a bit of irritation from Putin's side when Indian delegation and others tried to convince him to give peace a chance and to stop fighting and to give him lectures on Gandhi and all of that.

Yeah, well, yeah, I think Putin is used to it because India is doing it not for the first time.

And there was a lot of irritation with all this Indian flirtation with America.

He was wearing felt slippers, and he moved silently into the bedroom.

He was carrying his black satchel, and when I saw the lamplight glinting softly in his steel-rimmed spectacles, saw his wise, gentle eyes, his bald, brown head, I thought to myself, why, he looks just like Mahatma Gandhi.

He looked silently at Harry and smiled encouragingly.

Harry looked at him, looked at me, and looked away.

And I'm a big fan of Satish Kumar, his work I read.

And I remember reading Gandhi's autobiography as part of this journey.

But there was a bit of it I could never get my head around, which was that you should love other people's children in the same way you love your own.

And I could just never...
