"Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go."
Mother Teresa (26 August 1910 – 5 September 1997)

Mother Teresa made a strong impact on me when I was a young boy. I do remember that there were alot of jokes flying around at the time she received The Nobel Peace Price in 1979. I guess, because people really did not know what she was up too. For over 45 years she ministered to the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying, while guiding the Missionaries of Charity's expansion, first throughout India and then in other countries. In this blog post I have written down a few of he her qutoes. When you read them, I guess you and I have to stop, think and readjust. What a great inspiration she was, and still is. Please read more about her at wikipedia.

Your profession is not what brings home your paycheck. Your profession is what you were put on earth to do. With such passion and such intensity that it becomes spiritual in calling.
