So, as promised on Instagram earlier, I went out for dinner last night with my father and sister. We went to a swiss restaurant nearby, which I really wanted to go to. It makes awesome Fondues! It's called "Schweizweit" and located in Hamburg, Germany. So if you ever go there, I highly recommend it! It's like a cute cubby hole and you have to go downstairs, actually, to go inside.
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. I was shocked when I heard the news.
Only a few days ago was it that I wrote about one of my all-time favorite movies "Invictus". It is about how Nelson Mandela (played by Morgan Freeman!!) helps this white Rugby player (Matt Damon) to grow stronger as a person. He is motivated to be strong and support his team. Actually, the movie's theme song and central image is based on the eponymous (same-named) poem by William Ernest Henley in 1875. This poem was one of Mandela's favorite ones, which he would regularly quote. It is a great poem and especially a great, great movie! Please, please do watch it - you will not be disappointed. I promise. In fact, 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". Now, guess who the very top person on that list was… |
