Albert Einstein There have been many influential people throughout time. And as time continues to move forward, there will be new influential people that come into the world. Everyone and anyone can influence others. Sometimes for the greater good or the worst. It all depends on the mindset of the person. In addition to what I just previously stated, there are people that influence other just by doing what they love to do. For this reason, Albert Einstein is the most influential person in history because he pursued his dream as theoretical physicist and broke through boundaries in science that help shape todays scientific world. Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, German on March 14
Malcolm X. These people also made huge impacts in the world but none of this would have happened without the
How well known people are effects how influential you are, and while these 2 characters from history are not as influential as LeBron James and trending pop starts are in their time, they’ve used their influential abilities in positive ways that affects everyone today. Susan B. Anthony and Martin Luther King Jr. are both amazing leaders of the suffrage and civil rights movements. Anthony with Women’s rights, and King with African American’s rights took Civil Rights as a whole a few great leaps forward; brought forth an era where the Civil Rights Movement is something almost everyone believes in, that equal rights should be something everyone has. In these great leaps forward, King and Anthony have used their influential abilities to help
Influential people change the world with their words, influences people takes risks and try harder in people’s life. Lebron James once said, “Don’t be afraid of failure; this is the way to succeed.” Lebron tried to tell people that they don’t need be afraid to fail even he does. Also, he is one of the greatest players ever and he still is succeeding throughout his life. Failure is what lets us people know what we did wrong and how to succeed next time. Another, quote by Ray Lewis says, “All I know is the grind.” Ray said that hard work pays off, and him working hard getting the grind is paying off for him because he is a very successful football player. He wants people to be successful, so he told them how he did it so that they could follow in his footsteps. Drake says,“Life can always change, you just have to adjust.” Overall, This quote just tells us life will change no matter what, so we need to figure out a way to get through that change. Like when Drake’s life changed when he became a famous rapper, he adjusted and wanted to be better. Now he’s more famous there will be obstacles in our path just find a way around them. Those influential people have quoted
I believe that one man that has had a positive impact on the world is Martin Luther King Jr. Martin did a lot with his short life. He was a big motivator of the African Americans. He was a big influence in the Civil Rights movement. He changed many lives during his lifetime. Martin Luther King Jr. had a positive impact on the history for all people and changed the way people are looked at today.
Many can have or make an impact on the world. The two people that i think have made
In history, many individuals who were not in power or were not government leaders made a big impact and change on their society, time period and the current ideologies of that region. They did not need political power to be influential for example Martin Luther and Johannes Gutenberg. Both of which did not have official authority but rather both used their intelligence, beliefs and perceptions to be supremely successful in influencing change.
A person who has had a very positive influence in my life was my very first Scout Master while I was in Boy Scouts. His name was Glen Long. He taught me many things about Boy Scouts, but this is not what makes him an influential person to me. Many people believe that to be a leader you must be strict and demanding. This is not the case, however. Mr. Long showed me many was in how to be a leader, but how to lead with the help of others. He taught me that no good leader leads on his or her own. He also put me in many different situations to get me out of my comfort zone because he said "a person never grows if they are always comfortable." He did this while being fun and starting a very personable relationship with me. He also taught
Influential people inspire people to go on with life without all the negativity. Drake motivates people with his music by saying, “Everybody dies, but not everybody lives.” Usually, his lyrics have deep meaning, so you’d have to really think about his lyrics. He wants people to look deeper into his music so they really do get inspired. Will Smith is a very inspirational speaker, as he states, “If you are absent during my struggle, don’t expect to be present during my success.” As you can see, he shows deep meaning, just like Drake and he is very powerful with his words. “I swear my intentions aren’t as evil as you think, but my temptations can always push people to the brink,” words from G-eazy. Obviously, he is proving that what you do can
He was born saying words bigger than you know. In a small little house right next to the river that he helped build with his invention. The invention he used was a giant shovel and in one scoop made that river. He was smarter than the smartest known as Einstein. He is a scientist the best one of all. He is known by the name that everyone knows as Tegan Fitzgerald.
Influential:(adjective) having or exerting influence, especially great influence. The dictionary’s definition is very basic, but in reality we need a lot more influential people in this world. In these past 30 years, there has been one person that’s been extraordinarily influential. He goes by the name Eldrick Tont Woods. His nickname ‘Tiger’ was given him by his dad, in honor of his dad's South Vietnamese combat buddy, Nguyen Phong, who saved Tiger's father's life in the Vietnam War(Brantley). Tiger is an outstanding golfer. He has won over 79 PGA tour events, second most in history. “Tiger Woods set an amazing pro golf career in motion in 1997, when he became the youngest man and the first African American to win the U.S. Masters”(Biography).
determination is a trait that influential people need to have in their long list of character traits. Determination is not giving up when things get hard or when things are not going your way. Without determination Trudeau, Campbell, and Johnson-Sirleaf would have given up in the first difficulty that interrupted their goal. These influential people all had sucessful political careers. Pierre Elliott Trudeau was the 15th Prime Minister of Canada in 1968. Trudeau had determination to get his party back to the majority of the government. Trudeau did not give up, because he had determination he fought back. In 1980 Trudeau’s party was back in power, and
The most influential individuals are those who have the courage to stand up firm for what they are fighting for.
While trying to do what they believed was right, Mahatma and Osama both influenced a great number people. Gandhi is considered to be influential because
What is the meaning of being influential? Can an influence be positive or negative? My fiancé Amanda was the greatest positive influence in my life in many ways. Meeting her gave me the greatest friend I could ever ask for but that wasn’t enough for me then. I fell in love with her like a moth to a flame my senior year of high school and by giving her my time she taught me three life creeds. She taught me to love myself, numb my pain, and forgive the unforgivable.
Someone influential isn’t only a powerful individual, but also someone who understands certain situations and is able to advise others what to do if one ever encounters something similar. Consequently, Nathaniel Hawthorne was the primary author who influenced me the most because I was able to connect and sympathize with the author. Also, when I attended the academic conference that I was so greatly invited to take a part in, I was able to understand and see the short story “Young Goodman Brown” in a new perspective. Besides understanding that the short story is about society wearing different faces, I was able to further comprehend that the short story might also be about assumptions. This triggered a thought which made me further connect with the authors writing. Thus, Hawthorne’s short story really spoke to me.
