That last post set me to thinking - who else would I rank in the top ten most influential people in the world during my lifetime.

Well, personal influences - in no particular order...

My wife
My father
My grandfather
My mother
Lin Yutang
TS Eliot
LaoTzu
Peter Boag
Ronny Marshall
Pakipaki Harrison

On the world-wide stage, again in no particular order

David Lange
John F Kennedy
Martin Luther King Junior
Nikita Khruschev
Mikhail Gorbachev
Nelson Mandela
Karol Józef Wojtyła (Pope John II)
Mahatma Ghandi
Mao Tse Tung
Dag Hammerskoeld
