Gandhi & the Seven Blunders of Humanity

Gandhi wrote a note to his grandson three months before he was assassinated. 

In October 1947, Gandhi listed out the seven blunders of humanity for his precious grandson: 

Wealth without work. 

Pleasure without conscience. 

Knowledge without character. 

Commerce without morality. 

Science without humanity. 

Religion without sacrifice. 

Politics without principle. 

I think this note to Gandhi’s son is also for you and me. Gandhi’s note is a star toward the true north. 

As leaders, we have an incredible opportunity to create organizations that lean toward virtue while playing the game of capitalism. 

I believe all of us are able to place bricks upon the foundation of virtue Gandhi dedicated his life to.  

“We are the people we have been waiting for.” – Medicine Man 

Business can be played as a long-term game with long-term people. 

I think it’s a journey worth pursuing. I think it’s a mountain worth climbing. 

Onward,
