J K Rowling Richer Than The QueenBBC News. "Boy wizard Harry Potter makes author J K Rowling richer than the Queen, according to The Sunday Times Rich List." Not bad for someone who was so poor that she wrote the first Harry Potter book in coffee shops to keep her young child warm. Good for you, JK Rowling! You are an worldwide inspiration to both kids and adults. |
![]() Lance Armstrong We admire Lance Armstrong for his determination to battle back from cancer to reach the pinnacle of his sport. He is an inspiration to all people. In Lance Armstrong's book, "It's Not About The Bike: My Journey Back to Life," he traces his journey from being nearly struck down by cancer, only to recover and win the Tour de France. Armstrong is a thoroughgoing Texas jock, and the changes brought to his life by his illness are startling and powerful, but he's just not interested in wearing a hero suit. His actions will melt the most hard-bitten souls: a cancer foundation and benefit bike ride, his astonishing commitment to training that got him past countless hurdles, loyalty to the people and corporations that never gave up on him. |
