During her stint in the 70th Miss World pageant, Karolina Bielawska of Poland stressed that everyone can be great and there are always unique experiences where people can learn about themselves, but there is not one “most important discovery.”
“The most important discovery, I believe that this is no one. But every day we learn something new and we all have unique experiences and all of us can learn something about ourselves […] What I discovered is that it cost us so little to enrich the [lives] of others and this is the cause that we can all afford and believe me it’s worth its price,” she said. “[…] We can all be great because everyone can serve and this discovery seems so simple but it’s actually life-willing.”
Bielawska urged those who want to discover new things to be more empathetic, compassionate and grateful, an answer that won her the title of Miss World 2021 in the pageant held at Puerto Rico today, March 17.
