Napoleon Bonaparte (August 15, 1769 – May 5, 1821) was a French military leader and emperor whose strategic genius and political ambition reshaped Europe at the turn of the 19th century. Born on the island of Corsica just months after France annexed it, he trained as an artillery officer and rose rapidly during the French Revolution, distinguishing himself at Toulon and in the Italian campaigns. In 1799, he orchestrated the Coup of 18 Brumaire, becoming First Consul and later crowning himself Emperor of the French in 1804. Over the next decade, Napoleon forged a vast empire through victories at Austerlitz, Jena, and Wagram, while implementing sweeping domestic reforms such as the Napoleonic Code—which codified civil law and influenced legal systems worldwide—and reorganizing education, administration, and the economy to strengthen state authority. However, his invasion of Russia in 1812 proved disastrous, and successive defeats by the Sixth Coalition forced his abdication in 1814. Exiled to Elba, he staged a dramatic return during the Hundred Days in 1815, only to be decisively beaten at Waterloo and sent to St. Helena, where he spent his final years. Napoleon’s legacy endures through his legal and institutional reforms, his role in spreading revolutionary ideals, and his indelible impact on military strategy.
Muhammad Ali (born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. on January 17, 1942 – June 3, 2016) was an American professional boxer and cultural icon known for his extraordinary skill, charisma, and unwavering commitment to social justice. Rising to prominence as a heavyweight champion with his fast footwork and powerful punches, Ali won Olympic gold in 1960 and became the world heavyweight champion in 1964 after defeating Sonny Liston. Famous for his bold personality and poetic trash talk, he coined phrases like “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.” Beyond the ring, Ali stood firm against racial discrimination and the Vietnam War, refusing military induction and facing legal battles that made him a symbol of resistance and conviction. Throughout his career, he won the heavyweight title three times, engaged in legendary bouts such as the “Fight of the Century” and “Thrilla in Manila,” and left an indelible mark on sports and society. Diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease later in life, Ali remained an inspiring figure until his passing in 2016, remembered as “The Greatest” both inside and outside the ring.
Mother Teresa (born Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu on August 26, 1910, in Skopje, then part of the Ottoman Empire) was an Albanian-Indian nun and missionary whose compassionate work with the poorest of the poor made her a global symbol of humanitarian service. At age 18 she joined the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Ireland and later moved to India, where she taught at a girls’ school in Calcutta. In 1950 she founded the Missionaries of Charity, a congregation dedicated to serving “the hungry, the naked, the homeless, the crippled, the blind, the lepers, all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared for throughout society.” Under her guidance, the order established hospices, shelters, and clinics that provided free care for the destitute and dying. Recognized worldwide for her selfless devotion, she received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. Even after her health declined, she continued to embody relentless compassion until her death on September 5, 1997, in Kolkata. Canonized as Saint Teresa of Calcutta in 2016, her legacy endures in the ongoing work of the Missionaries of Charity and in inspiring millions to serve the marginalized.
