kwong — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 05:44:21 +0000

Following from the picture above, Mother Theresa looks more like a caring person and someone who will put their heart into things. Andrew Johns according to me looks much more like a ‘Hobo’.

Good sports player
Motivator
Emotional
He is a winner
Never gives up

4. Discuss what you believe the difference is between inspiring people and inspiring people of faith.

The difference between an inspiring person and an inspiring person of faith is that an inspiring person just thinks for themselves rather then helping out people or people of a community. This is exactly like the comparison between Mother Theresa and Andrew Johns where Mother Theresa actually have helped out the poor and the sick. Andrew John has recently become a bad influence to children because of his intake of drugs.
