Who\'s the most remarkable person you know of? Why?
I want to be remarkable. But I'm not. Not even close. I don't even know what it takes to be remarkable. But, starting tonight, I'm going to learn.
Who is the most remarkable person you know (or know of)? What makes them remarkable? [please don't ask "what do you mean by remarkable?"...just use your own definition] Thanks all, hd |

It's hard to think of a question that that above picture would not be an acceptable answer to.

One can be remarkable in a number of ways. Many of them are bad. Try to avoid these.
Being remarkable in a good way is normally some weird combination of genes, talent, determination and luck. Some people are remarkable and nobody knows. Some people are only remarkable in some specific situation that they never find themselves in. You might be quite remarkable and not even know it. Maybe not though. |

Angelina Acheng Atyam, cofounder of the CPA and recipient of a UN human rights award for her work in bringing awareness to the situation in uganda/sudan with the Lord's Resistance Army and their slave army of kidnapped children.
this summarizes why pretty well: [ QUOTE ] Eight months after Atyam's daughter disappeared, she received a message that a LRA commander wanted to meet with her. The LRA, it seemed, was ready to offer her a deal—the release of her daughter if she ceased her public-relations campaign. Atyam countered with an offer to do so if all the girls from St. Mary's were freed, but the LRA refused it. Her family was appalled that she had turned down the offer, but as she wrote in Marie Claire, "getting my child back would be absolutely wonderful, but if I accepted the offer, I would be turning my back on all the other families. I'd destroy the new community spirit we had created—the hope of getting all the boys and girls back." [/ QUOTE ] |
