As promised in my last post "In Memoriam: Nelson Mandela", here's the list. I have had this list for a long time now of people I would love to meet one day. For various reasons. Possibly because they are motivational, inspirational, an idol, or just for the "fun-factor".
Here it is:
1. Nelson Mandela.
Actually, I wanted to meet him and collaborate with him through a meaningful, socially aware project in South Africa. And then - this is what I had imagined as a young girl - I'd be in contact with him and we'd understand each other so well that I could introduce him and my father to each other, just like my father has introduced me to him (as a person, not in person).
A hero.
2. Warren Buffet.
Warren Buffet is one of the most wealthiest men alive at this time.
My interest in him, though, has evolved when my father gave me a newspaper article one day, about how this Warren Buffet, as a very young adolescent, did little and simple things to earn a little bit of money. I must have been about 12 or 13 years old at this time I received the article. His entrepreneurial engagement fascinated me as it is something we have in common.
