Hellen Keller (1880-1968)
Angela Merkel (1954-)
Miranda Kerr (1983-)She was not an ethereal, virginal figure from some Renaissance painting, but a tall, dark, beautiful woman, who had won the hearts of men the world over. Beneath the glamorous exterior, she conveys an impression of the power of passion. Every thought awakened her soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free. “The power of the mind is so strong,” she does not throw her weight around, or behave like a loose cannon, she just try large loves and heavenly charities and embrace her blindness and deafness. No barrier of the senses shuts her out from humour and smiles, but people no more know what lies behind her smile than what lies behind the Mona Lisa's. Without embarrassment or awkwardness, she spends her life negotiating “I just live in the moment and enjoy every step along the way.”
p.s. Some grammar errors of tense happen for the fact that Keller has passed away while the other two ladies are still alive.
