The incredible thinker Albert Einstein spoke about values when he said: “Try not to become a person of success, but rather try to become a person of value.” The great spirit Mohandas Gandhi also spoke of meaning in life with his famous phrase: “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” And the wonderful woman Helen Keller noted that “the only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.”
