Mother Teresa fascinates
German managers |
Düsseldorf (AP).
The deceased Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Mother Teresa, is the person
with whom German managers are most fascinated. This discovery was made
by the Dusseldorf-based market research institute, Ires, during personal
interviews with 400 leading German managers for the German magazine
"Wirtschaftswoche". After Mother Teresa come
Bill Gates, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and
Pablo Picasso. The managers were asked to rate 399 people, brands and
terms according to their fascination value. The winning brand was
Porsche. Microsoft in third place was the only non-car brand in the top
five. Second place went to Mercedes Benz, fourth place to Ferrari and
fifth place to BMW.

Mother
Teresa marked the history of our century with courage. She
served all human beings by promoting their dignity and respect,
and made those who had been defeated by life feel the tenderness
of God.

This
evening, there is less love, less compassion, less light in the
world. She leaves us a strong message, which has no borders and
which goes beyond faith: helping, listening, solidarity.

Chirac] |

She
helped the poorest of the poor, gave them courage to live and
the feeling of their worth, Mother Teresa will remain
unforgotten and be an example after her death.

Kohl] |
