Reflection
Community
Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.
— Mahatma Gandhi
स्वतंत्रता का कोई मूल्य नहीं है यदि इसमें गलतियाँ करने की स्वतंत्रता शामिल न हो।
— महात्मा गांधी
Why this matters:
A healthy community provides a safety net for failure. Service means creating environments where people can take risks and grow without the fear of being permanently discarded for their errors.
यह क्यों मायने रखता है:
एक स्वस्थ समुदाय असफलता के लिए एक सुरक्षा जाल प्रदान करता है। सेवा का अर्थ है ऐसे वातावरण बनाना जहाँ लोग अपनी त्रुटियों के लिए स्थायी रूप से त्यागे जाने के डर के बिना जोखिम उठा सकें और बढ़ सकें।
