    Hey Zid, Geoffrey Rush went out with my (step) sister. He was such a shy nerd then. All he did was blush. Guess what? He went into theatre to get some confidence. Reckon he got there!

    This is Chen Shu-chu, and you've probably never heard of her. She's now 61 years old, has a sixth grade education, and has sold vegetables from a stall in Taidong, Taiwan since 1963. She has led an extremely frugal life so that she could donate a large share of the money she has earned from her meager business to several charities (so far that amount is US$332,000 and growing).

    While weathy philanthropists in Taiwan give of their excess—as long as there are plenty of cameras around—Chen Shu-chu has shunned luxuries for decades and has quietly helped countless others through her self-sacrifice.

    In 2010 she was one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People.

    " Money serves its purpose only when it is used for those who need it."
    --Chen Shu-chu

    “Freedom is a pretty strange thing. Once you’ve experienced it, it remains in your heart, and no one can take it away. Then, as an individual, you can be more powerful than a whole country.”

    Steve C, that is an incredible person. She's a better person than I, for sure.

    zid, I love Neil deGrasse Tyson. He's one of the smartest people you will ever meet but the way he talks, he can explain the most complicated things in the simplest way. I wish I could find enthusiasm for anything the way he does for being an astrophysicist.
