520 _aHow best do you tell of greatness of spirit? Of transcendent compassion? Of creativity at the service of society? As human communities have universally done over the ages, these virtues are all best told through stories, especially stories of heroic men and women whose lives reflect the triumph of such values in the face of deprivation, conflict and adversity. It is time to make sure that the current and future generations will have the kind of stories which will be told and re-told because they inspire hope, they uplift the spirit, they celebrate triumph over adversities, they nurture a passion to be of genuine service to one's fellow human beings. Here then are the stories of fifteen Ramon Magsaysay laureates, ordinary individuals whose extraordinary lives have made Asia a better place. They are Asia's modern-day heroes and heroines.
