INTRODUCTION

"At the moment of death, we will not be judged by the number of good deeds we have done, or by the diplomas we have received in our entire life. We will be judged by the love we put into our work."

Mother Teresa

Nowadays, the idols of young people are the stars of the stage, screen, Internet. I bow to the people who have found the strength to devote their lives to charity: Mother Teresa, Princess Diana, Dr. Lisa. It became interesting to me what motivates such people, how they come to charity.

The object of the research is the process of character formation of a strong personality who has devoted himself to charity.

The subject of the study is the life paths of Princess Diana and Dr. Lisa.

The hypothesis of the study is that it does not matter what motivates people in their charity work - whether it is a thirst for fame, court duties, or love for people, the main thing is the result. And the result is hundreds of lives saved.

The purpose of the study: to prove that two completely different women from different walks of life, different financial status, education, different countries, had a lot in common.

Achieving the research goal requires setting the following tasks:

• explore the life path of Princess Diana;

• study the biography of Dr. Elizabeth Glinka;

• analyze and summarize the results of the work carried out.

The theoretical method of research was the collection and analysis of literature, Internet sources, films on the research problem.

Practical research methods: analysis of its results, writing an essay.

The practical significance of the research lies in the fact that I published my essay on the Internet, took part in essay contests in English. On this topic, I spoke to my classmates. I think that the example of personalities like Dr. Lisa and Princess Diana can inspire many to do good deeds.

THE MAIN IDEA

I got the opportunity to express my admiration for two women whose contribution to charity cannot be overestimated. I would really like you to read my essay and touch the world of love and kindness, of which Diana, Princess of Wales, and Elizabeth Glinka have become a part forever.

There is a whole gulf between my heroines. They lived at the same time, but in parallel worlds. One is a brilliant aristocrat; the other is an intelligent, educated woman from a simple Moscow family. One was used to exclusive clothes and popular adoration, the other worked a lot, and more often she could be seen in a lab coat.But both of these women had the same taste for a life full of compassion.

I want to prove that everyone can do good deeds, regardless of origin and financial situation.

In this inquiry, I will reveal how completely different life circumstances prompted these outstanding women to devote themselves to serving people.

Exploring their life paths, I read books about them; watched films dedicated to them, and also used open Internet sources. I was deeply immersed in the lives of my heroines, and this gave me a reason to share my thoughts with you.

Part I. Princess Diana, who did not become the Queen of Great Britain, but she became the queen of human hearts.

There are a lot of publications about the Princess Diana, but I will separate the wheat from the chaff, and draw your attention to the noble soul of this lady.

Princess Diana cannot be called Cinderella at all, she rose in the aristocratic family, never knew the need. Where did the craving for caring for others come from in a girl who did not know anything about refusal?

The thing is that despite the material well-being, there was not enough warmth in the family. The basic principle of education was keeping a distance between parents and children. Diana willingly cared for Charles, her younger brother, showing a motherly nature. [8] It was compensation for the lack of intimacy with her parents.

It would be unfair not to mention that fact that Diana actively participated in all charity at the West Het School. Here she showed herself to the fullest. The girls provided assistance to elderly people, helping them to go to the store for shopping, cleaned up the house. In addition, Diana was an activist of the local branch of the volunteer medical union.[8] The volunteers' duties included visiting a hospital for the mentally ill, where they took care of their peers with mental illnesses. Later Diana remembered this time with pleasure.

To marry a prince, what could be better? By bad luck her dreams of cloudless happiness were not destined to come true. And again, Diana saved herself by charity. Once, she took care of a man, who was dying of AIDS, and this lesson enriched her spiritually. She devoted herself to the needs of healthcare and AIDS problems. In addition, Diana visited homeless shelters, helping teenagers, among whom there were many alcoholics and drug addicts. This job brought her true satisfaction.[8] She was afraid of losing the opportunity to help AIDS patients, homeless vagrants and lepers.

After leaving the golden cage and breaking free, Diana did not leave her charity work. However, it should be said that now she could only supervise six charitable organizations. Despite the difficulties, Diana also took up military problems.[7]

In 1997, Diana visited Angola, where she faced the horrors of war. She saw people with bodies mangled by land mines, and it shocked her. Diana even made a passage through the minefield in a protective suit, which was also not safe. [6] She drew public attention to the work on mine clearance and the prohibition of landmines. Now Diana was interfering not with the royal family, but with a more powerful force, those who distributed weapons to military conflict zones.

It was a crying shame that the terrible car accident claimed the life of a folk princess. Her son Prince Harry, recently called for the world to be gun-free, butit’s still all up in the air. Unfortunately, modern European politicians do not hear such calls. Nowadays, antipersonnel mines are also scattered on the territory of Ukraine.

Part II. Elizaveta Glinka – "Doctor Lisa" — a woman who firmly believed that someone else's misfortune does not happen.

Let's turn to the life of Elizaveta Glinka, who was born in 1962 in Moscow, her father was a military man, and her mother was a doctor. Since childhood, Lisa has firmly decided to become a doctor, as she often visited the hospital where her mother worked. In addition, her uncle, pediatrician Alexander Kolesnichenko, had a great influence on the choice of her future profession. [5] Lisa recalled that as a child she read books on medicine and played doctor. Lisa's mother, Galina Ivanovna, adopted her nephews after the death of her brother. Thus, the river of Liza’s kindness, originates from her family where good deeds were not only preached, but also performed. As expected, Elizabeth received a medical education at the N.I. Pirogov Medical Institute.

How did the rest of Elizabeth's life turn out? After marrying an American citizen Gleb Glinka, Lisa went to America. Despite having two children, Lisa could not sit idle. After confirming her diploma, she became interested in the work of hospices. Elizabeth was greatly impressed by the hospices in which people lived their last days. In these institutions, all possible conditions were created for the patients so that their passing from life would not be painful, so Lisa made up a decision to become a volunteer at an American hospice. It was her work in the hospice that predetermined her entire future fate. Helping terminally ill people, Lisa realized how important it is to provide them with decent care.

In 2001, Lisa, following her husband, moved to Kiev, where the first hospice was opened at that time. Dr. Lisa had an excellent education, and could work in any best hospital, make a career, but her choice fell on a hospice and a visiting patronage service at an oncological hospital. The brave woman began to share her experience gained in America with the local medical staff. Dr. Lisa is a nickname that Elizaveta Glinka invented for keeping a diary in LiveJournal where she wrote not about herself, but about her patients. [3] Hospice patients were people from different walks of life, but for Lisa there was no difference who was in front of her, an old professor, or a downtrodden homeless person. For her part, she tried to do everything possible to alleviate the suffering of terminally ill people and their relatives, often forgetting about herself. Thus, at this stage of Elizaveta Glinka's life in Kiev, the stream of her good deeds has already become a full-fledged river.

In 2007, Elizaveta Glinka moved to Moscow, where her mother's illness brought her. There would be no happiness, but misfortune helped. It was Elizaveta Glinka who began to draw public attention to the deplorable state of the palliative care service. Elizabeth began to work in this direction with her usual fervor. Her efforts were crowned with success. The public organization "Fair Aid" organized by her provided the terminally ill, homeless, and poor with everything they needed.

Elizabeth could not pass by someone else's misfortune, and even adopted the child of her deceased patient. Dr. Lisa took an active part in helping victims of fires in 2010, she was engaged in the evacuation of children from the zone of armed conflict in Ukraine, helped children in Syria. [4] It is impossible to list all the cases that the selfless woman was engaged in. In the last period of her life, the river of good deeds has already become a mighty stream, in which she involved many people who were able to provide financial assistance to her foundation.«Many thanks to all of you for ANY help. It is priceless regardless of whether it is 100 rubles or a million. Because mercy has no price», she said. [2] Dr. Lisa used her authority for a good cause. She was full of beans, as if she was afraid of not having time to fulfill her destiny. Elizabeth had lots of ideas and plans for the future, but the plane crash interrupted her life. Elizabeth flew to Syria to deliver medicines for sick children in Latakia… Her whole life was an example of service to good.

Conclusion

To sum everything up, I can say that both, the pretentious Lady Diana and the selfless philanthropist Elizabeth Glinka have made a great contribution to the cause of charity. Both of them have left the mortal world, but their work lives on. Princess Diana's adult sons oversee many social projects, and the Doctor Lisa Charitable Foundation continues its activities. It is generally agreed today that these fragile women popularized altruism and philanthropy and they are often compared to Mother Teresa. I am sure that if Elizaveta Glinka and Lady Diana were alive, they could meet today in the areas of hostilities in the Donbass, where they would save the sick and wounded, and would fight against the use of petal mines on the streets of cities.

The lives of these two women show a vivid example of how, regardless of social status and nationality it is possible to change the world for the better.
