1. “Living life is like playing chess with the universe. It is you who is supposed to decide your victory.”

Ephraim Shay lived not win alone, but also to leave his signature to the whole world as an entity for the world to follow and cherish. The American merchant, entrepreneur and self-taught railroad engineer was very sensible while taking a step or making a move; every step he took moved pawn on the chess board. He designed the first Shay locomotive and patented the type. Moving on, he built an all-steel boat and also designed and operated a private water works for the town of Harbor Springs.
2. “Belief is the only tool which turns the impossible to possible.”

Belief was the only weapon which Heinz Edgar Lehmann had to use and create his life. The German-born Canadian psychiatrist had pure and innocent heart which trusted his ideologies. He is remembered and admired for his use of chlorpromazine for the treatment of schizophrenia. He has later appointed as the Clinical Director of Montreal's Douglas Hospital. He was wide ahead of his time and supported research things which the world was not familiar with.
3. “Learned are those who have done more to grow more and experienced are who’ve grown more through their learnings.”

Eleanor Steber is looked upon, respected and treated as a treasure of learnedness and wisdom. It is all because she learned, practiced, explored and experienced a lot while she became one of the first major opera stars to have achieved the highest success with training and a career. She, alongside, impressed radio and television audiences and recorded a live album. Not limiting to opera, she also gained recognition as a heroine.
4. “Your responsibility doesn’t end with living life. It actually starts when you focus on bettering yourself in order to derive contentment.”

Gordon Gould was widely credited with the invention of the laser. He got what we wanted only because he fought, but also because he deserved. He deserved because he worked on improving himself at every stage. He could grow better only because he could learn, implement and improve better. That is how he bettered his life. Gould proposed using optical pumping to excite a maser and constantly served his domain prominently.
5. “Everything in life happens for a reason. Accept it with hope and move on with faith.”

Phyllis Driver never questioned but received all of what came to her. She always nurtured hope and filled her mind and heart completely with positivity. The American actress and stand-up comedienne once had no idea what she was doing when she started playing clubs. Seeing no woman in the comedy circuit, with no female role models, she still managed to excel and survive in the male-dominated industry. She won irrespective of whatever happened because she knew that everything that happened was for reason which bettered her life.
