Some people i admire

Well, there are some people I really respect. For what they've achieved and believed in..for the things they've stood for, the causes they've championed or simply the attitudes they've carried. I believe some people are clearly far ahead of the 'average human' when it comes to tapping human potential. now believe me that's a fairly loose idea...for one all of us may be endowed with different abilities and potential and then all of us have different tendencies to apply these abilities. to demonstrate what i mean by the latter part of the previous line, here's an example...arguably 2 of the most inspring leaders in history have been Gandhi andHitler...they only chose to wield their leadership for achieving completely antagonistic objectives.

One guy I have tremendous respect for is Tiger Woods. He's the top guy in a sport that's predominantly white. He's a young kid excelling in a sport that's perceived to be an oldies game...he had all the odds stacked up against him and yet he went ahead and conquered every great frontier in golf.

Then there's Lance Armstrong. This guy epitomises sheer zeal..an unending zest for life and a commitment to winning..there's just so much to learn from him.

And yes, other people who strike me as amazing include: Bill Clinton(defamed though he is, this guy has loads of charm), Dhirubhai Ambani, Steve Jobs....the list goes on as i discover that so many people have led extraordinary lives that we ought to learn from..
