Famous People Whom I Want to Meet

If i were given a chance to talk to some of the most famous people all over the world, then i think i can die peacefully. (joke)

But having that chance maybe, can change me a person or can give me a different perspective on
how and what they think about the world today.



1.) Andrea Bocelli - Famous Italian Tenor Opera singer. Born with Congenital Glaucoma, his total blindness came after a game of football when he was 12. A voice so soft and so sweet truly a god given voice. ( I personally like his performance at Tuscany, Italy when he sang Con Te Partiro)



















2.) Stephen Hawking - A British Theoretical Physicist, severely disabled by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (nosebleed), its a motor neurone disease. The disease started when he lost his balance and fell down a flight of stairs when he was in cambridge, the diagnosis of the disease came when he was 21.

3.) Megawati Sukarnoputri - Indonesia's first female president and daughter of the country's first president after declaring independence to the Netherlands. Megawati became the 5th President of Indonesia, after her presidential term, she tried to ran for re-election but was defeated by Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Did you know!? the Sukarnoputri means "daughter of Sukarno and it is not a family name. And she was simply referred as Megawati or "Mega" which is derived from Sanskrit meaning "she who has the cloud"




















4.) Nelson Mandela - South Africa's First Black President and Nobel Prize Winner. Before being the president nelson was the leader of African National Congress ' armed wing "Umkhonto we Sizwe".

He also place 3rd in the 1953 Mr. Universe Bodybuilding Contest and up until now still recognized as a contemporary sex symbol.
