How a Burn Casualty Became a Beauty Motivation to Many
At age 9, a hot oil spill at her family's restaurant left Shalom Nchom with 
acute burns on the face, head and neck. All the teasing and staring by peers 
and adults pushed her to depression and at age 13 she discovered what make up 
can do to guard her from bullies.With time, she became a makeup pro, and the 
same kids who bullied her in school were soon offering her $5 to $25 for her 
makeup services.
She evolved from Shalom Nchom to Shalom Blac and became an inspiration to other 
women. The 20-year-old's latest video shows Shalom applying makeup to only half 
of her face. Before performing the expert tutorial, she reveals how she has 
learned to gain confidence in herself, with and without the help of beauty 
products."You have to be thankful for what you have, because you never know 
what someone else may be going through," she reveals." Makeup is not the reason 
why I am joyful. I'm happy because I love myself."
Accomplishment of the human spirit is the ability to rise above our 
difficulties and not only survive, but thrive in the face of adversity. No 
school can teach you to turn your disability into ability. It's about how the 
body adapts to the diversity. It's about having the spirit and the will not 
only to outlast, but to overcome a handicap and win.
There has been another kind of triumph of the human spirit which people don’t 
talk about, which shows people possessing extraordinary strength and endurance 
to endure suffering and persecution enforced on them by merciless autocrats. We 
are talking about a relentless persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners in 
China. Practitioners put up a peaceful opposition with their extraordinary 
faith. Even when they are targeted for their organs and picked up for murder, 
they show an remarkable quiet resilience which the wrongdoers find upsetting!
Falun Dafa, once a very admired meditation method in China, was acknowledged by 
the regime for its benefits to society. Sadly, the practice was outlawed in its 
country of origin in 1999 after its popularity was seen as a threat by the 
Chinese Communist regime and has since been brutally persecuted. The practice 
consists of easy to learn, simple exercises for the body and is founded on 
integration to the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance. 
Diligent practice leads to a profound understanding of life and the universe, 
and a deepened spiritual awareness. The discipline is followed by people in 114 
countries and is increasingly becoming a subject of research by scientists for 
its benefits benefits to physical and mental well-being.
The torture in China is not only killing lives but repressing the very values 
which are fundamental to the health and well-being of all people all over the 
world.
