Her famous "Notes on Nursing," first published in 1859, devotes several sections to cleanliness and patient environment. She went through many hard work and sacrifice. More ever from her I learnt that we should always be ready to help others in need. Forgiveness is a trait of the strong, not the weak. Likewise mathama Gandhi was also famous for his work and sacrifice for peoples. Gandhi always taught people to forgive those who commit wrong and speak harshly. Young people's can learn how to start forgiving people who do wrong and misbehave with you. GandhiWas a great proponent of simple food and discipline.

On 4 November 1854, Florence Nightingale
arrived in Turkey with a group of 38 nurses fromEngland. Britain was at war with Russia (the Crimean War 1854-1856) and the conditions in the hospitals were very bad. Hundreds of soldiers were injured in the fighting. In those days, hospitals were very basic and the soldiers were not given good food and medicine to help them get better.
When Florence Nightingale got to the hospital, she saw that wounded men were sleeping in overcrowded, dirty rooms without any blankets. Wounded soldiers often arrived with diseases like typhus, cholera and dysentery. More men died from these diseases than from their
injuries.
She didn't even rest at night. She walked from one patient's bed to the other with a lamp on her hand making sure that everyonewas alright. The soldiers lovingly called her the 'Lady with the Lamp' or 'Lady Bird' and this is how she is recogmized even today.
