Happiness is anything done with harmony. Mahatma Gandhi explained that only when person’s thoughts, actions and words are balanced and connected to each other, only then he can achieve true harmony. Gandhi's principles of life were Dharma, ahimsa, karma, sarvoday, swadeshi, non-Cooperation. Gandhi had valued emotional optimism about his ability to manage feelings and handle stress that is one aspect of emotional intelligence that has been form to be important for success, (Newman 2008). Gandhi said, “Emancipating yourself is the emancipation of India and all else is make believe”. He has strong belief that nobility of soul consists in realizing that you are yourself India. Gandhi was not a psychologist or having any training of that aspect, but his techniques and ideas are psychological implications to improve human condition. Gandhi and his messages are a timeless contribution to humanity, irrespective of time and space. Gandhi is one person who realized the power and potentiality of youth, understanding the dynamics of social change. Gandhi emphasized on simplicity, kindness, truth, and non-violence as his life's mantra. These are the essential things that students have to learn and follow from him. Moreover, he wanted the youth of today to follow moral values. His ideas and philosophy teach us a lot about his morals and principles.
