Who Has Been Your Greatest Inspiration?...

Postby Oracle » Sat Jul 12, 2008 8:38 pm

Who has inspired you the most in your life, and why?

Mine has got to be Marie Curie who not only overcame political upheavals, family tragedies but led the way for women in science, contributed so much to Physics, gained Two Nobel Prizes, and went on to have a daughter that she inspired so much, that she also went on to gain a Nobel Prize.

Unbelievable and a truly awe-inspiring woman. 8)

Winston Churchill, he proved that you can spend your whole life pissed, smoke as much as you like, and still live to a ripe old age. !!. :lol:

Apart from needlessly sending thousands of men to an early grave, he also cheated with his drinking. :roll:

Apparently he had one very watered down scotch prepared in the morning, and he just sipped from that throughout the day .... making it look like he was constantly drinking ...

But he did invent the tank :?
