either on purpose or by a poor run of events.....
'a ton of work' = added a lot of value, even if it was only the single afternoon that that bloke wrote down the rules for association Football.
'Financial Reward' = any material gains.
- Alan Turing.......Computer innovator & code-breaker
- Mother Therese of Calcutta.............on purpose
- Mozart
- Tim Berners Lee......inventor of the WWW
- Vivaldi wrote the music.......Nigel Kennedy lodged the big cheque into the bank account.
- Queen Elizabeth II
- Van Gogh
- Oppenheimer.............got crucified for being a Commie in the McCarthy Era.
- Saladin......eschewed wealth...therefore 'on purpose' , meanwhile Napoleon was as greedy as a stuffed Corsican pig.
Different to the previous thread, this thread includes the Famous & the powerful, and also those whose contribution is difficult to measure. Like the anonymous selfless Tommies remembered in the Cenotaph.
what others ?
