Instead of another thread that is making a competition of x vs y (where people feeled compelled to justify why they DIDN'T pick the "loser" or comment on another's choice) how bout just saying which three people (personal development or not) you'd like to spend an hour with, living or dead.

I'd pick Christ, Buddha, and George Washington.

Myself 10 years from now. Or 20 years. Or 30. Myself right before I die.

Phil Newton · 12-07-2006, 03:04 PM

Jesus, Lord Baden-Powell and the first person to settle on Mars.

songwriter · 12-07-2006, 04:31 PM

Strange mix, I know, lol.

PhoenixBlossom · 12-07-2006, 04:36 PM

Albert Einstein, R. Buckminster Fuller, Ben Franklin

Hmmmmm.

Great Question!

PhoenixBlossom · 12-07-2006, 04:37 PM

And Cleopatra, Joan of Arc & Leonardo Da Vinci.

I may stop now...

babuji · 12-07-2006, 04:57 PM

1) My inner self
2) Anyone of the Masters who currently dwell in the Himalayas
3) Buddha

fontduroy · 12-07-2006, 05:05 PM

1. My wife
2. My wife
3. My wife

She's been working a lot lately.

MGJ · 12-07-2006, 06:38 PM

Great question.... hmmm,.... how about an Alien from another planet, Jesus, so I could learn first hand how he got so good at what he did, a dog that could talk, of course any time with my wife and kids, George Washington... I could go on...

MichaelRGaudet · 12-07-2006, 08:14 PM

33.3 minutes with John Lennon, 33.3 minutes with Alexander Graham Bell,
33.3 minutes with whoever invents the 1st working time machine.

Keep the change.

Flame · 12-07-2006, 11:48 PM

1. Zig Ziglar
2. 2nd Grade Teacher -- first person to give a crap and notice I was in a rough home.
3. Myself 10 years ago -- to tell me everything would turn out fine (l suspect a lot of us could've used this in our teenage years?)

Since #2 & #3 aren't possible, I want Hugh Jackman & Angelina Jolie too

Radical · 12-08-2006, 12:26 AM

1. Tony Robbins - To rid me of any fears.

2. Bruce Lee - To teach me martial arts.

3. Kerry Katona - Because she's fit.

Sadhana · 12-08-2006, 02:20 AM

I get to choose only three???

1. Thomas Edison
2. Abraham Lincoln
3. Albus Dumbledore

(4-999. Me, ten years from the future.)

daveangeles · 12-08-2006, 02:43 AM

1. my dead grandmother, who really believed in me. It'd be neat to see what she has to say.

2. Thomas Edison: I would ask him if it's true he failed at making the light bulb 9,999 times before succeeding. I'd ask him where that kind of self-confidence comes from.

3. If we can include celestial entities, which seems like a stretch to say the least

-- then I'd want a sit-down with my guardian angel. I would tell it to stop sitting around and start kicking some ass on my behalf!

DA

pkchukiss · 12-08-2006, 07:23 AM

I would pick my future self.

I want to know where I have gone wrong, what my greatest regrets and mis-accomplishments were, and the greatest lesson my future self would want to pass on to me.

If that is not possible, I want to have an hour with Warrant Buffet, Tony Robbins, and all the dictators of the world, for their world domination advices.

Minishark · 12-11-2006, 03:03 AM

Jimi Hendrix. To rock out with.

Oh damn, how could I forget? I want to spend an hour with Buffett and Munger, each. Or together, whatever. I'm going to meet them someday.
