Hryhorii Skovoroda born in 1722 was a Ukrainian philosopher, poet, and pedagogue. He was not only the founder of landscape lyrics (a genre of poetry representing the author’s attitude toward nature), but also added to the contributions of ancient Greek philosophers’ works on local culture and academic education. Skovoroda's work contributed to the culturalheritage of modern-day Ukraine claiming him as a native son. Skovoroda also created a philosophical concept of intrinsic labor that simplified the understanding of the way to achieve happiness. In other words, he established the idea of “love what you do and do what you love.”
