i salute the man who revolutionized the perspective of the world with his speech, where he started by saying "sisters and brothers of America!"
he represented India on Hinduism, opening the doors of our cultural thoughts to one and all.
there is something to learn for all of us, from his following inspiring quotes:
“take up one idea. make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. this is the way to success, that is the way great spiritual giants are produced.”
“we are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. if what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.”
-Swami Vivekananda (12th january 1863 - 4th july 1902)
