Hi,
She is 70 years old now. She is the most beautiful woman in the world today. She is also among the bravest women the world had ever seen. She is also the most liked woman in her country. She came to India a few years ago and went to a small village that is named after her in Anantpur district in the state of Andhra Pradesh and met a group of women there. She told them, "Do you know the meaning of my name? It means the 'rarest of the rare victories.' As women, my wish is that, you also get such victories in what you do." And the woman is Aung San Suu Kyi. Let us take a look at her inspirational story today.

The lady whose name means the 'rarest of rare victories'
Yesterday, the 13th November, became a red letter day for people of Myanmar, as it marked a new beginning for the whole nation with the declaration of victory of Aung San Suu Kyi's party in the recent elections. What a victory! Indeed a rarest of the rare victories! What a struggle she went through to see this day in her life and to give the gift of a democratic rule to the people of her nation!
She sacrificed a lot on her way for decades in order to achieve this rare victory. She faced innumerable dangers, hurdles, and obstacles in this journey of years. But she never lost her hope. She never gave up. She held on to her faith. She believed in herself. She retained a smile on her face even in the face of threats to her life. She is Aung San Suu Kyi.
She is rare. Her personality is rare. Her heart is beautiful, but brave too. Her face is gentle, but firm too. Her courage is quiet, but deep and determined too. Her faith in herself and her mission's success is undaunting and indomitable. She is Aung San Suu Kyi.
She was house-arrested for more than 15 years. Her family members were not allowed to see her. She faced life threats and attempts of assassination on her several times. She could not even go to her husband's funeral, lest she would fail in her mission. The military tried their best to discourage her, frustrate her, and foil her plans. But, she withstood every such attempt with a smile on her face. She is Aung San Suu Kyi.
Why is all this? What made her sacrifice so many things in her own life? How could she live on despite the worst of the hardships that were meted out to her? It was the PURPOSE for which she decided to live her life. A purpose beyond herself and her family! A purpose to give freedom to the people of a whole nation! A purpose to see a smile on the faces of the women who were imprisoned along with her in the jails of Myanmar! A purpose that brought her closer to the hearts of the people of the whole nation! A purpose which even her enemies had to ultimately appreciate and accept! And she brings the rarest of the rare victories - Aung San Suu Kyi - to the people of her nation and along with it the freedom to operate, to govern, and to give life to an otherwise dying nation.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Now that her NLD Party's victory in the elections was accepted and she was invited for discussions by the military, let us hope that her path to give a free and fair democratic rule to the people of her nation is clear. Let us stand by her and get inspired by her in this moment of her great victory. Let us learn that a life filled and lived with a purpose beyond oneself will surely achieve victories that are rarest of the rare.
To your continued success,
With love,
Siva
