Historical Figures

Of the 106 billion (estimated) people who have walked earth since the dawn of the human race, only 10 of them got entangled in history's textbook. Ok, there's a little more than 10, but they're still noteworthy enough for us to know by name. Rate dictators, monarchs, and "bullies," as well as pioneers, explorers, and free thinkers.

I asked Grandpa Running Bear what it was like when he first came to this country and he looked at me like I was an idiot.

Three of my four grandparents were immigrants to Canada.  They were all alive until I was in my teens, or later, and I knew them well.  They all loved to reminisce about the "old country" although not all of their reminiscences were fond ones. In fact the three of them were as proud, or more so, to be Canadian as anyone I know who was born here.

1.After being a King,Military Chief,legislature,Chief Justice of his kingdom not because of Dictatorship but of Influence.No human till now haven't lived in poverty who possess any one of the position.The reason is he declared the property that belongs to kingdom is prohibited not only to him but for this generation.I dont think any one would have lived as simple life as this man after conquering every richness yet not enjoying it.by the way he was not poor untill he started preaching Islam he was one of the rich people in the city.

2.He completed the religion(Submission to God) but in the case of Christianity it is yet to be completed (New testament,old testament Etc...)I dont blame Esa(Jesus)

3.He abolished inequalities(Rasicm) in Society and treated everybody equally.

4.No king openly declared rule favouring women untill that time,not even Queens of British Empire

I can go on and on about this man.To me he is one of the role model in my life.

I guess I could ask the mercenary bog-trotter what he was thinking when he packed his kit, but since he left a detailed journal, I already know.

An eye on the main chance, and the high road out of Donegal.
