Core beliefs
Teaching how to fish is better than providing fish:Helping individuals discover their true potential would help them morein the longer term than any other aid. This way they would helpthemselves, as well as the society.
Leadership is a decision, not a position: Individualswho emerged as some of the greatest leaders had nothingextraordinary about them. Anyone could be a leader irrespective orbirth or living conditions, if willing to decide
Leaders breed more leaders: More individuals wouldembrace the leadership mantle, if they are made aware that leadershipis a decision. Hence, true leaders are those who nurture more leaders,not followers

For the first time in his life, he was exposed topoverty and old age. He was deeply disturbed.
