maybe fate has been predestined….on the palms…
but i always believe, and in the following words ….
“Man [Woman] is not made for defeat.”
- Ernest Hemingway (1899 – 1961, Suicide). He was mocked with
his deceptively simple and staccato writing style, which paves the
way for a new American writing that influence a world of imitators.
Nobel Prize (1954)
"Saints, it has been said, are the sinners who go on trying. So
free men are the oppressed who go on trying and who in the process
make themselves fit to bear the responsibilities and to uphold the
disciplines which will maintain a free society. Among the basic
freedoms to which men aspire that their lives might be full and
uncramped, freedom from fear stands out as both a means and an end.
A people who would build a nation in which strong, democratic
institutions are firmly established as a guarantee against
state-induced power must first learn to liberate their own minds
from apathy and fear."
- Aung San Suu Kyi, Nobel Prize (1991). Arrested, detained,
separated from all ties of kinship, she proved what no other Asian
women of her time did with the principle of non-violence and
continual engagement for democracy and human rights. Now a major
motion film, "THE LADY".
“Suddenly, I felt the emptiness of those elegant economic
theories in the face of crushing hunger and poverty. I wanted to do
something immediate to help people around me, even if it was just
one human being, to get through another day with a little more
ease. That brought me face to face with poor people’s struggle to
find the tiniest amounts of money to support their efforts to eke
out a living.”
- Muhammed Yunus, Nobel Prize 2006. Mocked and ridiculed by
bankers whom he asked for loans to extremely poor people. He went
against the state law by setting up village banks starting with 27
dollars, which has since provided a decent living for millions of
women and children. To date, more than 7 million borrowers of
microcredits.
