"Human beings consider themselves to be very powerful. The magnificence of the mountains and their high and peaceful peaks enable us to see our activities and ourselves in the right perspective. They enable us to see how small and unimportant we are, and despite our powers of destruction and creation, how helpless we are against the powers of nature. But still, we have something special and that is our invincible spirit. It is on the basis of this invincible spirit that men and women become capable of changing the impossible into the possible." These words of Mrs Indira Gandhi, who was the personification of an invincible and magnificent spirit, open many doors of contemplation and introspection.

Many people in this world try to become great, but most of them are not able to achieve this greatness; while there are some people to whom greatness comes by itself. This statement is completely true for Mrs Indira Gandhi. She was always successful in accomplishing any task that she set out to do. The secret of this success was her determination, untiring effort, and dedication.
