a. STEPHEN HAWKING
Professor Stephen Hawking is no ordinary scientist nor is he an ordinary man. For this
man, who weighs no more than ninety pounds and is completely paralyzed,
speechless and unable to lift his head, is variously described as Einstein's heir, the
greatest genius of the twentieth century and even the master of the universe by one
journalist. Though his body is frail and almost withered away, his face is still boyish
and alert and a mirror to one of the finest minds of our time. But Stephen Hawking
does not like anyone to dwell on his disabilities. He likes to be positive and cheerful in
his outlook, although his determination and single mindedness is often misconstrued
as arrogance and obstinacy. By keeping himself engaged in what he calls the game
of the Universe', he does not allow himself to think about his state of health. He once
said, "I have managed to do what I wanted to do despite it, and that gives a feeling of
achievement". But Hawking's success has come at a price. His marriage to Jane,
which lasted almost twenty five years and produced three children finally ended in
the spring of 1990, as his wife felt progressively alienated from his religious views
which did not see God as acting outside the Universal laws of Science.
Stephen William Hawking is a physicist famous for his work on black holes in
cosmology. In his early years, he received education at Oxford and later Cambridge.
He started his career as a theoritical physicist at Cambridge. He was a man of
intellect but a physically crippled personality. He is considered an atheist from his
philosophical outlook. One of his greatest achievement was the postulation of
'Hawking Radiation' that a black hole emits and he became famous with the
publication of the book 'A Brief History of Time'.
b. SUNGHA JUNG
is a South Korean musician Jung began to play the guitar after watching his father
play. He first learned piano, but found it somewhat boring, while his father's guitar
playing looked great.[5] Jung was taught the basics of guitar by his father. After
learning the basics, he developed his skill greatly just by trying to play what he
heard.[4] When he struggled he would study online videos.[6] Jung came to play
fingerstyle when his father discovered the fingerstyle technique on the internet. His
first 'idol' was guitarist Kotaro Oshio, from whom he developed interest in fingerstyle.
[5] At first, Jung's mother and grandmother disapproved of the 'noise' that Jung and
his father continuously created, but they came to understand it as his gift. Soon after
his first debut video on the internet, he garnered many supporters, from whom he
asked for advice on his playing.[6] His cover of "The Pirates of the Caribbean" theme
song, which currently has over 47 million views on YouTube, made Jung an internet
sensation, and his playing caught the attention of world-renowned guitarists, who
found his covers of their songs impressive. Jung has since played on stage with them

multiple times.[7] Jung has received guitar lessons from Hata Shuji, a well-known
Japanese jazz guitarist. He has also been mentored by German guitarist Ulli
Bgershausen, who Jung refers to as his musical inspiration,[8] and from whom he
learned much about composing and arranging.[9][10] In a video he recommended
the 'AllEars method' for those who like his style of guitar playing and want to learn it.
[11] In addition to steel-string and classical guitar, he has been recorded playing
twelve-string guitar, electric guitar, ukulele, guitarlele, harp ukulele, and piano. He
has also sung live, singing Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglov's "Falling Slowly" at a
concert in Bangkok.[12] Apart from Korean, Jung speaks English,[5] which he studies
to be able to communicate during concerts abroad.[9]ho specializes in acoustic
fingerstyle guitar. He is also popularly known as Prince of guitar. [1] His YouTube
channel currently has more than 3 million subscribers.[2][3] Jung creates acoustic
covers and arrangements, typically by ear and/or by watching videos, and has
original music, which he plays and uploads online. He was nicknamed the "Guitar
Prodigy" and the "August Rush" in Korea, though he prefers to be known as a
'guitarist' rather than a 'guitar prodigy'.[4]
c. NELSON MANDELA
No-one doubts that over the course of the last century Nelson Mandela was one of
the giants on the world stage. When he died in December 2013 there was a joyous
celebration of his life and of his remarkable accomplishments that poured into the
streets of South Africa and was instantly transmitted across the globe. Mandela was a
true leader; a transformational figure who not only inspired and motivated his own
people but also hundreds of millions in other countries in the African continent and
beyond. Its instructive, I believe, for those of us in the corporate world to evaluate
his life and leadership and see what characteristics he possessed that we should
embrace both for personal and business success. There are, of course, many qualities
owned by this unique and complex individual who went from prisoner to president,
who endured 27 years in a tiny jail cell before taking up residence in the presidential
palace and then voluntarily handed over the reins of power after just one four-year
term. But let me sum up what I view as the most important and most relevant
characteristics displayed by this iconic, historic figure that business leaders would do
well to emulate.
Fighter: Mandela, unlike few other people in our lifetime, had the strength of his
convictions almost beyond comprehension. He could easily have been released from
jail many years earlier but stood firm in his beliefs. He knew what needed to be done
to achieve his ultimate goal and remained steadfast until he got there. Business
leaders can learn from Mandelas consistency, dogged determination and courage to
take risks.
Includer: The former South African leader was renowned for reaching out to include
all sectors of society. As a child hed watched tribal elders handle community
problems on a consensual basis, an approach he carried with him to the presidency.
Involving a wide group of people in the decision making was democracy in action and
also served to make his colleagues feel appreciated and respected.
Listener and Decider,Dreamer,Forgiver ,Hosnety and
Integrity,Educator,Persuader,Persistence,Charmer.
These are just some of the traits Mandela displayed throughout his 95 years and we
can all learn from them. They are guiding principles that we should embrace and act
on as we decide what we want our legacy to become.

d. ALBERT EINSTEIN
It has been proven now that Albert Einstein was smarter than others of his time and
also than most humans to have ever lived and those still living because he used more
of his brain than what people usually do. Scientists have inferred, after studying his
brain post his death that he used at least 20% and it could be as much as 30%, more
of his brain than what humans normally do. While his using more of his grey matter
had not resulted due to his personality, yet his personality was certainly influenced or
even dictated to a great degree because of his using more of his brain. Einsteins
Personality
Albert Einstein had a restless personality, although he may appear to be very calm
and wise on some images that have become popular over the years. He was a
mischievous person and that was primarily because of his curiosity. He was
phenomenally curious, very different from most people in the world; those who lived
then, before him or now. His curiosity drove him or compelled him to get to the
bottom of things, to understand everything around him and this lead to what others
termed as mischief.
Albert Einstein was a playful man indeed and some of his mischief may have been
intended or intentional. His playfulness is displayed when one studies that Albert
Einstein loved playing the violin but instead of practicing he preferred to perform.
Any performer with a tinge or a lot of playfulness would hate practice. It is a behavior
or tendency that many people in the world working in different fields and of different
ages share. There are sportspersons who dont want to head to the training sessions
every day and yet they want to get to the big stage and perform in front of a live
audience. Talented people or those who are more intelligent than a normal human
tend to have apathy for repetitive tasks or what can be best described as mundane.
