The world will need people to move it forward. It will need people with selfless motives, and with heroic deeds. In books, we can read that success is working more than you are paid (but beware: employers who abuse the workers). This is going the extra mile.
Ralph Waldo Emerson says “A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best.”
I chose ten people for this article. Imbibe their positive qualities and insights.
1. St. Therese of Lisieux ( 1873 – 1897) is the Patroness of the missions and of all missionaries.
“I will let fall from heaven a shower of roses.”
“My heaven will be spent on earth until the end of the world. I want to spend my time on earth doing good.”
2. Pope John Paul the II Karol Wojtyla
“Love is faceless.”
John Paul the II is the first non-Italian to head the church in five centuries. He is the first Pope from a communist country and the first Pope for officially atheistic Poland.
During the “World Youth Day” the young people and the Pope were together (X World Youth Day) in Manila on January 10-15, 1995.
3. San Lorenzo Ruiz (c.1600 – Sept 29, 1637) The first Filipino saint (of Chinese and Filipino ancestry) was beatified by Pope John Paul II in Manila, and later canonized on October 28, 1987. He is the first person beatified outside Vatican.
San Lorenzo Ruiz proved that sanctity and heroism are there for anybody and the final victory is made to size in each one of us.
4. Charles Robert Darwin (1809-1882)
Darwin was the English naturalist and scientist who put forward a revolutionary theory that shook the world.
His book the origin of species, published in 1859, set forth his theory of evolution which he had begun developing after study the animal of Galapagos Islands.
5. Sigmund Freud (1856 – 1939)
Sigmund Freud holds an important place in the history of psychology. He founded the technique of psycho-analysis and developed the theory of the unconscious mind: the id, the ego, and the super-ego.
6.Hannibal (247 – 183 BC) was the great Carthaginian soldier who fought the Romans with inventive genius. He is remembered for his unique exploit of taking elephants across the Alps into Italy.
7.Florence Nightingale (1820 – 1910) was a dedicated nurse and hospital reformer. As a nurse, she made a study of hospital management, and in spite of fierce opposition she organized a staff of nurses to alleviate the terrible conditions in the military hospital during the war.
She is known as the “Lady of the Lamp.”
8. St. Peter (? – A.D. 64?) Peter is an apostle of Jesus of Nazareth. After the crucifixion, he set out to preach Christianity but was himself put to death in Rome. The Roman Catholic regard him as the first Pope.
9. Helen Keller (June 27, 1880 – June 1, 1968) She was deaf, dumb and blind, but she spoke to the world.
She was an American author, a political activist, a lecturer, and the first deaf-blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. Her teacher was Anne Sullivan.
She campaigned for women’s suffrage, workers right, among others. Heller Keller was a good friend of Mark Twain.
10. Teresa of Calcutta (Aug 26, 1910 – September 5, 1997)
In the 1970’s, she was internationally famed as a humanitarian and advocate for the poor and the helpless (missionary of charity).
