Jonas Salk Made the vaccine for polio (1955)..Humility Personified


Jonas Salk Medical Pioneer
 
Even the disease's name scares everyone today: Cancer. But in the 1950's the scary disease was Polio. It paralyzed or killed children. People kept hoping someone would find a way to stop it. Dr. Salk worked every day for years to discover a vaccine to prevent polio, and he succeeded. But instead of bragging and taking lots of money for his work, he displayed HUMILITY and kept working as a doctor to find cures for other diseases, including cancer and AIDS.
Quotes:
    "If humankind would accept and acknowledge this responsibility and become creatively engaged in the process of evolution, consciously as well as unconsciously, a new reality would emerge, and a new age could be born."
    "Hope lies in dreams, in imagination, and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality. "
    "Intuition will tell the thinking mind where to look next. "
    "The reward for work well done is the opportunity to do more. "
