There have been instances of mighty conquerors in world history who won the wars and extended their kingdoms. Conquerors like Changez Khan, Alexander and Napoleon have left their footprints on the conquests they made during their lifetime. But those who conquered themselves, their desires and ambitions are still revered by mankind. Such men as Ashoka, Gautam Buddha, Guru Nanak, Christ and Mahatma Gandhi who worked for the good of others are still remembered with love, affection and respect because, instead of conquering new lands, they conquered the people’s hearts. Rightly therefore is it said that he who conquers others in strong, but he who conquers himself in stronger.
