Look for something positive in each day, even if some days you have to look a little harder. Lou Gehrig, an exceptional baseball player for the New York Yankees from 1923-1939, conveys his positivity and accepting the manner in his farewell speech given at the Yankee Stadium on July 4, 1939, announcing his retirement. Two weeks prior his farewell speech, Gehrig was diagnosed with ALS disease that eventually destroyed and demolished his muscular structure and his career. Lou Gehrig stood in the field

Jimmy Carter Nobel Prize Paper At the time of Jimmy Carter's presidency, he was often perceived as an unsatisfactory president, but today is associated with some of the exceptional ex-presidents. His accomplishments drew interest from the Nobel Committee, who would ultimately award him the Nobel Peace Prize. Jimmy Carter’s background, actions, and legacy, assisted him in winning the prestigious award. Jimmy Carter was born in Plains, Georgia, in 1924. His father owned a small plot of land and
In 1986, Elie Wiesel won the Nobel Peace Prize. He was a voice for the sufferings of both the Jewish people, and victims of any oppression. His Holocaust experiences sparked something inside of him that wouldn’t have surfaced otherwise. Despite all of the brutality and suffering, Elie learned positive lessons throughout his time in Auschwitz and the Holocaust. Through the Holocaust, Elie learned that silence is not an answer to oppression. At first, he couldn’t believe the cruelty and pain the Nazis

I also thought that it would be stunning if the Nobel committee acknowledged that a teenager—a teenage girl—could have had so great a role in making people of different cultures understand each other. But Malala has plenty of time, and I have no doubt that she will distinguish herself again and again with

We try to serve him in the poorest of the poor'. These are all examples of people following Jesus' example of suffering and death for other people. In conclusion, it
Malala’s story is a case of individual authority and activity. By focusing on her, the Taliban demonstrated how perilous one young lady can be to strengths endeavoring to reduce sexual orientation equality when all is said in done and equivalent access education specifically. Her story additionally indicates the requirement for devoted association by guys and grown-ups. Her dad’s assistance for her for her cause, attempts on her benefit and eagerness to place himself in great risk are a case of ways

We often go through life trying to decipher between right and wrong. We strive to go down the right path. Our conscience allows us to do so and is often our guide towards the fulfillment of a moral life. Our conscience is a part of us that is so intertwined with God that it allows us to do according to His law. Although, God 's law (aka external law) is only known by God, he has revealed some parts of it through our ability to reason. This is known as natural law. This natural law tells us what is
When Mother Teresa went to India, she had a choice between helping the poor or just walking away. Mother Teresa clearly did not walk away. Instead, she helped right away. Mother Teresa was a woman of wise words and once said, “We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless.

To me, a hero is someone who can show courage when faced with a problem, who Is able to help others in various ways, someone who gives others who need support the strength to push and go on through life’s difficulties. When one thinks of heroes, names such as Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and Mother Theresa often come to mind.
