Famous Personalities – What Makes Them Stand Apar

Whether its Princess Diana or Mahatma Gandhi or Helen Keller, they are all famous personalities of the world and people from all over the world look up to these personalities with great esteem and respect.

However, it is not easy to be labeled or known as a famous personality. Famous personalities are not people who were born great or who achieved greatness just because of their intellect. If we take the term famous personalities literally, it would comprise of a personality that has individual attributes, behaviors as well as considerable prominence. However, it is important that all these attributes are earned by the person himself or herself by efforts and hard work.

Famous personalities earn this stature and esteem in the eyes of other people and become famous due to the services or the deeds they do or did for their countrymen or people of the world.

Let’s take Princess Diana as an example of famous personality. Even though she became famous when she married Prince Charles, heir to the British throne and became a princess, yet she was more famous for her charity work, sympathy to poor and support to organizations who worked for the underprivileged masses in the world. However, the main reason as to why she was so famous were her fearless ways with which she went on to protest against landmines and went to several counties to protest against them as well as her acts of kindness when she sat with patients dying with AIDS. It is easy to become famous but it is very difficult to live on as a famous personality and live in the hearts of people even after death and to be remembered and revered as a personality.

There are numerous people all over the world who are famous for their actions, their words, their acting or skills. However, the names of only a few people have passed forward on the pages of history to be known as a famous personality.

In such a case, the actions and attributes, behaviors, temperamental as well as mental states can be characterized as the major reasons that combined together result in making of a famous personality such as that of Martin Luther King Jr. or Nelson Mandela. These people took actions and said things that they meant, fearless of the consequences or the governments of their time. Their actions prompted and encouraged other people to take steps for not only their own betterment but also the welfare of those around them.

Thus, it would not be wrong to say that regardless of all the reasons and things said and done, famous personalities make themselves known and distinctive with their ideas, thoughts, words as well as actions that show their sincerity and their dedication to the cause for which they work.

Cuba's world-famous cigar festival closes in Havana

Sunday, February 28, 2010 HAVANA: Hundreds of wealthy merchants and cigar aficionados from all parts of the world gathered in Havana this week to bid high stakes for humidors full of premium cigars. Cuba's annual Habanos festival ended on Friday night with an auction of ornate humidors of cedar and mahogany stacked with hand-rolled stogies that raised 800,000 euros ($1.09 million dollars). Habanos S.A. executives this month said cigar sales fell 8 percent to $360 million in 2009, so they have created the Julieta, a smaller, milder version of the Romeo y Julieta cigar, aimed specifically at female smokers. Women now make up only 5 to 10 percent of customers for Habanos. But even with the creation of the Julieta, Garcia said Habanos has only modest hopes for 2010 sales, due largely to a weak economy in Spain, the biggest market for Cuban cigars.
