Mother Teresa's achievements are not insignificant. However, you may not believe it when Mother Teresa started her business, she was already a 38-year-old woman. Ma Yun has started a business at the age of 35, and her old man is going to compare with Ren Zhengfei, who started a business at the age of 43, and Jiang Ziya, who is 60 years old, who is out of the mountains!
Couldn't she start a business sooner? Maybe you can serve more poor people and achieve more success.
So let's take a look at it today, what are the nuns and her old people busy with in the previous 38 years?
First, a bland birth
Mother Teresa was not Sun Wukong, and she did not jump out of the cracks in the stone.
She was born into a Catholic family in Albania to parents who were not high-ranking dignitaries. Her mother, Chuang Da Bao Ya Shu, was an ordinary housewife who usually taught her husband and son. Her father, Nikolai Bao Yashu, was a radical nationalist. At that time, Albania was under Turkish rule and my father was fighting for Albania's independence. It is rumored that his father was later assassinated as a result.
It was on a very ordinary day, on August 27, 1910, when Mother Teresa was born.
Unlike the princes and nobles in our history, when they were born, they always had visions in the sky, dragons probing claws, and pythons turning over. It is not like Jia Baoyu, who holds a piece of jade in his mouth, and a monk and two immortals escort him to birth.
Therefore, her parents had not dreamed of any rare creatures such as fairy monsters and green dragon pythons the night before. Moreover, on the day of her birth, the sky in Albania was cloudless and clear, and there was no sign of the birth of a nobleman. No one saw wind and rain, thunder and lightning.
In comparison, her birth was a little too ordinary, so uneventful, in Skopje, Albania, to meet the world. When her parents gently picked her up, they found that she did not have horns on her head and no wings on her body. Nor did he find any evidence that she would become a future Respected Mother Teresa.
And after birth, just like you and me, we will eat and sleep, wake up and cry, eat and sleep.
It seems that when the great man was a child, standing in the crowd, he was not necessarily able to be discovered.
Therefore, she was also once an ignorant child, and she was once a beautiful little sister. Only later, through his own efforts, he became the mother of everyone.
Moreover, she is neither the eldest nor the second eldest in the family, but the third child in the family. Of the three children, she was probably the most disobedient. She was the only child who had left her country. The ancients said that "the little one left home and the old man returned", and once she left, she never went back. Even after her death, she was buried in a foreign country.
Second, get out of the house
When Mother Teresa was 18 years old, she heard that she had joined Laurel's Monastery and had the opportunity to go to Calcutta, India, to help the poor. He decided resolutely to join the Sisters.
Just like our Buddhist monks, choosing to be a nun is to make the same sacrifice, and you need to dedicate yourself to the religion without reservation. For example, the three great vows to abide by the Canon rules of the Catholic Church: absolute wealth, absolute beauty, and absolute will.
But she was determined to make such a choice.
Upon hearing of this, her brother Lazar, who served in the Albanian Army, took a negative attitude and wrote to stop her. But this did not shake her determination, after replying to her brother a letter, she still firmly stepped forward and walked out of the house without waiting for his brother to reply.
In 1928, she got her wish and became a nun, beginning her 15-year life as a nun.
III. Preparations in the Monastery
Just like before we work, we always have to go to school for many years. Mother Teresa's experience at Laureate Abbey was a process of learning and growth that provided her with the necessary preparations to save the poor, as well as adequate preparation.
It was here that she underwent systematic missionary training and mastered the methods of management. It was here that she learned English, because India was a British colony at the time, and learning English was the only way to work in India.
It was also here, to show a break with her past life, that she took the name Mother Teresa— a name from a role model she intended to emulate throughout her life.
It was here that she was assigned to teach at St. Mary's High School. Later, due to her excellent work, she was promoted to principal of the secondary school, trained the necessary management skills, and made important preparations for her to create and manage the Sisters in the future.
It was still here that she was sent to Darjeeling, India, when she met an important initiation and began a magnificent career for the rest of her life.
Until this time, Mother Teresa's career had not begun. Maybe it's a good thing to grind it. But we can see that, like pursuing a handsome guy, she is approaching her ideal step by step.
