Commandments of Mother Teresa |
Dear Friends, Beginning from this year we open two new headings “Wisdom of Great Persons” and “History of success” on the pages of our web site, where we will publish articles about interesting people, life histories of prominent figures, extracts and quotations from inestimable papers of classicists and contemporaries. We think that the guests of our web site will be interested to contemplate about the sense of imperishable phrases and texts, unique stories of remarkable persons’ life establishing, descriptions of their complex ways to their achievements will inspire our readers to great performances. We will begin the series from publication of the Commandments of Mother Teresa (1910-1997), a catholic nun who dedicated all her life to creation of schools, shelters, hospitals for poor and seriously ill children and grown-up people notwithstanding to their nationality and confession. Mother Teresa is the possessor of the Nobel Prize for “Rendering the Assistance to the Afflicted”. Ten Commandments of Mother Teresa 1.
