the person I admire most
The person whom I admired first time is my mother. But, if we talk about the famous person, I can say that, he is Mahatma Gandhi. He was from India. He is known as the “Father of nation” in India as he played a very important role in gaining the freedom of India.
Mahatma Gandhi gave the Indian People not only freedom but also the new thoughts on non-violence and sustainable living. There are some qualities about him like trust, non-violence, legacy, etc. These qualities are the ones that inspired me. He said that “If my faith burns bright as I hope it will even if I start alone, I shall be alive in grave and what is more speaking from it”.
Mahatma Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869 in small town named Porbander.
Gandhi was a lawyer and he became the leader of the Indian National Congress. The main things that admire me about him are that he was a great follower of non-violence. About his non-violence he said that “I know my path. It is like edge of a sword”. More than that, there are many things that admire me like once when he was very young, he stole the gold from his house. By this time, he learnt that stealing something or to be lying is a kind of sin. So, he thought that he should confess his mistake. The problem was that his father was very strict and he was scared by him. So, he confessed his mistake on a paper and he gave it to his father. His father read this paper and forgave him. The first thing that admires me is that to confess our mistakes is not easy and he did that. The other thing is that he found a way from the difficulties.
The other thing, which inspired me, is his punctuality. He was very prompt in his life as he believes that punctuality is very important in the life. I think we all should be punctual in the life. A very important example of being on time is when we want to make a good first impression. Especially on occasions such as an interview or on the first day of work.
The one of the most important thing in his

    Gandhi was a an example of a socialist in which added on to his status of a world leader. One of the main contributions he made socially were the making of non violence organizations. Non-violence was expressed deeply and was the priority in putting his cause forward(Appadorai). His movements were focused on the principles of satyagraha. Satyagraha is an important part of many of his protests but there is more two it than that. Gandhi followed the views of coming together to meet a consensus. He believed that in sitting down, without the use of violence, they will be able to agree on something that will satisfy the wants of both parties(Gandhi). Mahatma Gandhi was prosperous in his movements to gain his countries freedom. You can say this considering the fact that he got India's Independence. After many struggles India had finally gained the rights they deserved. This important day in history was August 15, 1947. Gandhi impacted and influenced people and the world in the present as much as he did in the years after…

    Mahatma Gandhi was an Indian hero who inspired a country to revolve and free themselves of oppression. He is the type of person who no one else could ever become, but if there was someone who I would like to model myself after, it is him. He changed the course of history with his new ideas, and he freed what would become billions of people. Without Gandhi, I would not be alive today. I want to inspire at least some small amount of people to change their way of thinking and free themselves of an abominable situation. He was truly a tremendous person and he is definitely a person one should aspire to be.…

    Indira Gandhi, the first women prime minister of India inspires me. When I read her life story I started to venerate her. It is a truth that I adopted her single actions in my life. She was called the “child of revolution” by her grand father when she was born. She has proved it by changing the face of India. I got influenced by her actions, life styles and her way of behavior. To my surprise, I have adopted her qualities like being a voracious reader, brave and friendly. Her aspect was to do right things without fearing any body; which created a good determination in my life.…

    What I find most interesting about Mahatma Gandhi and his life and work is how he was a very spiritual leader to many people and people looked up to him as one of their hero’s. Mahatma Gandhi was considered a father of the Indian Independence Movement and believed in non-violence. I find it very interesting how Mahatma Gandhi went on a Salt March for 24 days and walked 241 miles with his satyagrahis to the coast where they had picked up salt. This Salt March happened in 1930 and Gandhi proposed his non-violence march protesting for the British Salt Tax and to help free India from the control British had over them. This lead into a protest closing many shops down in Britain and lead into war but Gandhi and satyagrahis believed in non-violence so they didn’t fight back to the police. This lead to many of them being killed immediately and because they didn’t fight back the world embraced their non-violence, which had caused them to gain their freedom back from Britain. Another thing I thought was really interesting about Mahatma Gandhi’s lifestyle was how he believed that Muslims had equal value to Hindus and that no one was better than any body else that everyone was equal to each other. This reminded me of Martin Luther King Jr. and how he wanted equality to make Blacks and Whites become one and I feel as if that’s what Mahatma Gandhi had wanted but for Muslims and Hindus to be as one and have equal values towards each other.…

    * One of the most important Hindu figures in the last hundred years is a man named Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. He, for me, indicates an unconquerable spirit, filled with compassion for civilization and never appearing in the least bit overwhelmed by anyone or anything. The fact that he was known as Mahatma or 'Great Soul' speaks in far more meaningful terms of his true value to the world than my own insufficient impressions can.…

    Gandhi was not a great speaker, did not have a very attractive appearance, lived asimple life and avoided the spotlight as much as he could, but he is still regarded as one of the most exemplary persons to have ever walked on earth. The reason is because he always believed in himself. The first example of his fearlessness was his creation of the concept of satyagraha, a non-violent way of protesting against injustices or civil disobedience.* Even though some believed that this tactic was weak, Gandhi did not believe in punishing the "enemy" but to gain independence by befriending them.* He did not believe in a winners and losers, just as long as the problem was fixed, there was no need for bloodshed. The second example was his works for Indian equal rights in South Africa. At age 23, Gandhi suffered his first taste of discrimination when he was traveling in South Africa to work on a case (when he was still practicing law) and the railroad officials told him to move from the first class section of the train to the third class section because he was Indian. When Gandhi refused they threw him off the train. Because of this, he noticed the way Indians were mistreated in South Africa and wanted to help them.* In 1896, he sailed back to India to bring his family back to South Africa. But his boat was delayed because a large group of white South Africans believed that he brought two shiploads of Indians with him to overrun South Africa. But even though it was not true, when his family finally got off the boat, they were still assaulted with…
