His mother was very upset with this. But no matter how much she scolded him and tried to break his habit, he continued to satisfy his sweet tooth. Totally frustrated, she decided to take her son to see his idol \u2013 Mahatma Gandhi; perhaps her son would listen to him.<\/p>\n<p>She walked miles, for hours under scorching sun to finally reach Gandhi\u2019s ashram. There, she shared with Gandhi her predicament. \u2013 \u201cBapu, my son eats too much sugar. It is not good for his health. Would you please advise him to stop eating it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gandhi listened to the woman carefully, thought for a while and replied,<br \/>\n\u201cPlease come back after two weeks. I will talk to your son.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The woman looked perplexed and wondered why had he not asked the boy to stop eating sugar right away. She took the boy by the hand and went home.<\/p>\n<p>Two weeks later they revisited Gandhi. Gandhi looked directly at the boy and said,<br \/>\n\u201cBoy, you should stop eating sugar. It is not good for your health.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The boy nodded and promised he would not continue this habit any longer. The boy\u2019s mother was puzzled. She turned to Gandhi and asked,<br \/>\n\u201cBapu, Why didn\u2019t you tell him that two weeks ago when I brought him here to see you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gandhi smiled,<br \/>\n\u201cMother, two weeks ago I was eating a lot of sugar myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Gandhi was a Mentor of Dr. Richard Jorgensen. They never met in person, only in spirit, yet their soul connection is clear. Richard often says life is a measure of the steps that we take and the people we take those steps with. Richard teaches about the importance of living a life of passion, purpose, skill and wisdom to uncover and discover self and others.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"tab-stops: 2.5in;\">Possibilities for Consideration<\/h2>\n<p>Many people today are so wrapped up in self they fail to relate, connect and learn from great mentors, leaders and teachers and their legacies die along with them. We must change the tide and paradigm of selfishness, if we are to survive and truly live amongst and within the human race. In doing so, we must learn to value great leaders, men and teachers past and present.<br \/>\n<!--\n\n\n<div class=\"rTable\">\n\n\n<div class=\"rTableRow\">\n\n\n<div class=\"rTableCell\">\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-10441\" src=\"\/\/pocketwisdominsights.com\/pwicolab\/wp-content\/uploads\/lookinglass_wide-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pocketwisdominsights.com\/pwicolab\/wp-content\/uploads\/lookinglass_wide-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pocketwisdominsights.com\/pwicolab\/wp-content\/uploads\/lookinglass_wide.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 14px;\"><strong>Express your thoughts,\ncomments, questions and experience\nabout this post in the SocraticQ&#x2122;.<\/strong>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 13px;\"><em><strong>\"Let\u2019s make the dream big enough for everybody\u201d <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">~ Richard Jorgensen<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"rTableCell\">\u00a0\u00a0<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 450px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\" src=\"\/\/socraticq.awarecomm.com\/s\/1-1-a\/smll_sd_soq\/ghandi\/pwicolab-blg\/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<hr \/>\n\n\n\n--><\/p>\n<h3>Take a moment and examine\u2026<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>As you reviewed the material above, what stood out to you?<\/li>\n<li>What is the potential impact, economically and\/or socially?<\/li>\n<li>What action is needed to stop or support this idea?<\/li>\n<li>You may want to consider whether you:\n<ul>\n<li>want to be <em>aware<\/em> of,<\/li>\n<li>should become <em>supportive<\/em> of,<\/li>\n<li>would want to be <em>active<\/em> in this topic?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Add Your Insight<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>I have been impressed with the urgency of doing.
