I lay on the tanning chair, illegallyof course but i should go into that. As I flip through times (the 100 world's most influential people issue). This issue is unlike others, which just portray portfolios of the usual "great guy", "great things he has done", "great things we can learn from him". This time round, influential people give their word on why they think a certain someone is great and worthy of complimenting on.

e.g. fashion designer Stella Mccartney, by Gyweth Paltrow. and a political right black woman(Michelle Obama) on well, another one of the same kind (Oprah Winfrey)

Then, i try and recall who has had the greatest influence in life so far. I realised, its not exactly anyone famous or anything, its the usual people you see in your life daily. However, these people are indeed successful in their areas of work. So i cant help bu wonder, do people become great because they are influenced by great people? If we model success, do we in turn become successful as well?
