Sir Thomas More

Sir Thomas More (7 February 1478 – 6 July 1535), venerated in the Catholic Church as Saint Thomas More, was an English lawyer, social philosopher, author, statesman, and noted Renaissance humanist. He was also a councilor to Henry VIII, and Lord High Chancellor of England from October 1529 to 16 May 1532. He wrote Utopia, published in 1516, about the political system of an imaginary, ideal island nation.

In October, 1529 More succeeded Cardinal Wolsey as Chancellor of England - a post that had never been occupied by a layman. More was not at all sympathetic towards the heretics he prosecuted as part of his duties. In the end, More suffered from religious persecution himself. In 1532, More resigned from his position because he disagreed with Henry VIII's elevation to a position as head of the church in England. More was imprisoned in the infamous Tower of London and accused of treason. More was executed in 1535.

More opposed the Protestant Reformation, in particular the theology of Martin Luther and William Tyndale. More also opposed the king's separation from the Catholic Church, refusing to acknowledge Henry as Supreme Head of the Church of England and the annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. After refusing to take the Oath of Supremacy, he was convicted of treason and beheaded. Of his execution, he was reported to have said: "I die the King's good servant, and God's first."

By 1510, More was a famous lawyer and he became Under-Sheriff of London. In the next ten years, More enters the King's service and receives a pension of 100 pounds for life. More travels to Flanders and Calais, France to protect British commercial interests and serve in an ambassadorial role. In 1516, Utopia is published in Louvain and this is More's most successful work.

Life is changing. Also the demands of the 21st century are increasing. In the century most successful people recommend to young people to learn new knowledges. For example: Computer and digital knowledges, humanistic knowledge, meta knowledge.

In my opinion nowadays creative and different thinking, problem-solving, communication and collaboration such as features are appreciated.

That is why people should try to learn new skills for achieving happiness. Instead of going bars, restaurants, café and clubs as that time consuming places people should spend your time to go library, attend to sport. At the time mind training is necessary for everybody. If who has strong brain and memory he/she become clever, sharp, keen and witted. That’s why the more people read books the more he become clever. Literate humans have an expensive and useful ideas, but from illiterate people you can find only cheap opinions. When weather is good, freash air gives you more energy and a sharper mind. You may have noticed after spending time outside, you come back indoors feeling brighter and perhaps ready to get back to work. More oxygen results in greater brain functioning, improving your concentration skills and providing you with more energy.

In addition to learning other nations’ languages, cultures, holidays be useful. Knowing other nations’ mentality is important to realize, to rate and to give some expectations about countries.
