Be the change you wish to see in the world.

Mahatma Gandhi.
3
00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:08,833
The quote "Be the change you wish to see in the world"
4
00:00:09,233 --> 00:00:12,133
is one of the most famous sayings of Mahatma Gandhi,
5
00:00:12,266 --> 00:00:15,399
who was an Indian political leader and social reformer.
6
00:00:15,500 --> 00:00:18,299
It means that if we want to see positive changes
7
00:00:18,100 --> 00:00:18,933
in the world,
8
00:00:19,233 --> 00:00:22,333
we must first embody those changes in ourselves.
9
00:00:22,700 --> 00:00:25,033
Rather than waiting for others to take action
10
00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:28,633
or expecting external circumstances to change,
11
00:00:28,766 --> 00:00:30,466
we must take responsibility
12
00:00:30,366 --> 00:00:32,633
for creating the change we desire.
13
00:00:32,833 --> 00:00:35,033
The background of this quote is rooted
14
00:00:35,033 --> 00:00:37,133
in Gandhi's philosophy of
15
00:00:37,233 --> 00:00:39,099
non violent resistance
16
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:41,033
and his belief in the power of individual
17
00:00:41,033 --> 00:00:42,533
action to effect change.
18
00:00:42,533 --> 00:00:45,666
Gandhi believed that social and political change
19
00:00:45,733 --> 00:00:47,966
could only come about through the actions
20
00:00:47,666 --> 00:00:50,733
of individuals who were committed to nonviolence,
21
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,866
truth, and self-discipline.
22
00:00:52,733 --> 00:00:55,899
He saw himself as a living example of the change
23
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,800
he wanted to see in the world
24
00:00:57,700 --> 00:00:59,966
and encouraged others to do the same.
25
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,433
This quote has since become a popular mantra for those
26
00:01:03,766 --> 00:01:06,633
who seek to make a positive difference in the world.
27
00:01:06,533 --> 00:01:09,733
It emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility
28
00:01:10,133 --> 00:01:12,799
and agency in creating positive change,
29
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,100
and encourages us to focus on our own actions
30
00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:16,600
and attitudes
31
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,433
rather than pointing fingers
32
00:01:18,733 --> 00:01:19,999
or blaming others.
33
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,466
By embodying the change we wish to see,
34
00:01:22,533 --> 00:01:24,699
we can inspire others to do the same
35
00:01:24,700 --> 00:01:27,933
and create a ripple effect of positive transformation.
