We present a chronological list of persons with their first name (or the name they mainly use) here, and your task is to pick one. Then follow the Wikipedia link to read about that person, and to see what if anything he or she could contribute your life with. Inspiration, passion, encouragement, empathy, etc. Spend a couple of minutes of your life with this. Lives lived have all a lot to tell us - let them!
