Just a joke, okay....
One day many years ago at a school in South London a teacher said to the class of 5-year-olds, "I'll give $20 to the child who can tell me who was the most famous man who ever lived."
An Irish boy put his hand up and said, "It was St.Patrick."The teacher said, "Sorry Alan, that's not correct.
" Then a Scottish boy put his hand up and said, "It was St.Andrew." The teacher replied, "I'm sorry, Hamish, that's not right either.
Finally, a Gujarati boy raised his hand and said, It was Jesus Christ." The teacher said, "That's absolutely right, Jignesh, come up here and I'll
give you the $20."
As the teacher was giving Jignesh his money, she said, "You know Jignesh, since you're Gujarati, I was very surprised you said Jesus
Christ."
Jignesh replied,"Yes, in my heart I knew it was Lord Krishna, but business is business!"
luv and SAI RAM,

Hmmmm, good question. There are many great persons who have lived, however I would honestly have to say my husband. His commitment to his family and children far exceeds any other that I have ever seen. He believes that by giving our children a good foundation in education, morals, ethics, self esteem, humanitarian concepts, etc. that he will leave the world a better place. He places importance on the saying "Leave everything better than you found it. " and he lives it 24/7. He teaches all who meet him how to be a true human being. He believes that by conscious choices in parenting, we can change the world. How smarmy huh? It is how I feel though and I'm grateful to be a part of something so special....our family.

Jesus has inspired many men (and women) to serve mankind. You don't hear about it much because only the crazier Christians get on the news, but He certainly inspired me.
He also lived twice. I think that gives Him an edge over anyone else.

Adolph Hitler. He united more people in a just cause than any other man in history. Granted he did it in a negative way, it was still one hell of an accomplishment. In fact, the idea of the man is one of the only unifying factors amongst the religious and non religious alike.

Jesus Christ. God stepped (way) down to become a man and die for our sins. The ultimate act of love. Overcame sin and death, and is now Glorified with the Father.
