I always love to follow Google Doodle to get to know the great people in history, to admire their unusual stories, remarkable achievements, pioneering spirits and their contributions to the world. I also admire the way Google celebrates and commemorates these people of great consequence.  I seem to have read a message, whether it is intended or not, that anyone, regardless of his/her gender, race, culture, nationality, occupation, merits our respect and commemoration as long as his/her endeavors have contributed to the well-being of human beings, to the advances of human civilization, or to making the world a better or more beautiful place to live.
