Gandhi's Quote

Be the change that you wish to see in the world.
-Gandhi

Quite the obviously, the quote tells us that if we see a problem, we should take action ourselves. I for one love this quote and wholeheartedly agree to it. We should absolutely fix problems that we see or else we are only contributing to the dilemma. However, there are exceptions, we can't all become the president and solve the recession and we can't really go to the middle east and kill every terrorist leader. These actions though, are only small exceptions and are ridiculous and therefore, don't really tamper with the quote's main message. There is another exception too, raising awareness and inspiring others. Things like encouragement, while helpful in a way, feels slightly hypocritical in my opinion, but I feel that it can be okay if you do some service, but nothing is better than taking direct actions with others and being the change you want.
