Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela…and now Suu Kyi…a different class of people.

People who kept faith in themselves and others.

Who treat life as romance…adventure…search for truth. And who take a holistic view of life.

Enlightened self-interest…

Looking at the world beyond their noses.

And their memory keeps alive long after they pass away…
