Inspiration from Ghandi

I heard a great inspiring story about Ghandi ...

A mother brought her child to Ghandi and asked if he would tell her boy to stop eating sweets as it was rotting his teeth. Ghandi replied, please bring the boy back in four months time.

The mother did as suggested and brought her son back to Ghandi and said again the boy's  teeth are rotting because he is still eating too many sweets.

Ghandi bent down and looked at the boy and said to stop eating sweets..it is rotting your teeth.

The mother was puzzled and asked Ghandi why he could not have said this four months previously.

He replied

" Four months ago, I was still eating sugar !"
