Personality:
The world have heard of such writers whose pen sprinkles a galaxy of words on paper; the forceful speakers whose ability ignite the passions of audience; the poets whose poetry gets worldwide acclaim; the philosophers whose reasoning mystified the people; the politicians whose capability made wonderful works; the scientists who scale the planets; the businessman who have wealth with no bounds; the rulers who know the tricks to lengthen their rule.
However, the world has seen very little those exemplary people who feel for the society an ache for their desolation, who feel the pain in their heart, if a thorn pricks the foot of a soul. Their love is beyond racial, linguistic, and country boundaries. Their thoughts are very high, very deep and much vast, their contribution are across the boundaries and their words and actions have no clash, their conscience is clear as crystal, their life is dedicated for the cause of others.
