Person I admire the most!!!

Adventure is not only about going to places; it’s also in helping poor.  Someone has rightly said, the adventure of life is to learn. Learning from others is the best way to improve one’s life. Everyone has one or the other role models in their life that they admire and try to follow their footsteps.

One of the Spiritual personalities I admire is the recently canonized saint, Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta. Mother Teresa is a Catholic nun, who devoted her entire life in helping the needy people, especially the lepers, children, poor people, girls and all others.

She is an inspiration to all the youths because at the very young age, she decided to get into the religious life. She joined Sisters of Loreto to learn English and also teach her students. She landed in Calcutta, India, in the year 1929 and saw the poverty in the Indians. At that point of time, she heard a voice from the Lord, telling her to move on the path of helping the needy. From then, she started her own charity with few nuns, to help the poor people.

I, being a youth learn hundreds of things from Mother Teresa. Mother Teresa never gave up in her life. This is the main thing which we all need to learn because in the present scenario, we see youths giving up for simple problems that they face in their life. The best way to solve the problem is to face the problem.

Mother Teresa has made many beautiful quotes. One among them is, Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing. This statement is true. Even if you smile at the beggar or a kid, they get a feeling of trusting that person. Smile always brings shine in peoples face. But the present generation does is completely different. They don’t even look at the person who sits next to them.  This is not the right thing way. One has to change this sort of attitude so that there is a change in the society.

Mother Teresa was always a helping hand for the needy. She has never said a NO to anyone in her life. She has changed the lives of thousands of people. This quality is difficult to build in everyone because human nature is unpredictable. But what one has to learn is that we have to help such people who really need us. This will not only bring the happiness to that person whom we helped but also it will bring happiness to oneself. That feeling of happiness by helping others will bring a positive change in one’s life.  Mother Teresa beautifully quotes that “Do things for people not because of who they are or what they do in return, but because who you are.”

It is easy to see and appreciate the life of the famous personalities. But it is difficult to follow the footsteps of theirs. It is not the money that brings happiness but the little things that we do for others matters in our life and brings happiness. This is what Mother tells, “Do small things with great love.”
