Intro:
Times has done another of their annual top 100 most influential people on the planet. I have selected from their list the top 10 most influential people in my own opinion.

Hossein Mousavi
He was the leader of Iran with dreams of saving the Iran government from corruption and violence. As a child he wished for his country to have freedom. Running always from the revolution that started the Islamic Republic. He wanted democracy without carnage and more deaths for his country. For 31 years the Islamic Republic had shattered its promises to the people of Iran. Mousavi now believes that these promises to the people should be fulfilled to them. This is because of Mousavi’s political movements him and his party is in danger. However Mousavi believes this is a worthy sacrifice to the promises fulfilled to the people and the freedom of Iran.

Graca Machel has always been fighting for freedom for the youth in Mozambique who inspired them when she was a teacher. She also fought for freedom for her countries liberation with Portugal. During 1975 when she finally found her liberation from Portugal, this making her country, Mozambique awarded her with title of minister of education and culture. She eventually got married to Nelson Mandela, and even now many parts of Africa look upon her with inspiration, guidance and vision in which the can rely on her with.

Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw is involved in children who are doomed to failure and death eventually. When you are a child and you have lost your parents in a devolving country, you have a very dimly lit future ahead of you. Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw gives light to these struggling people by not only donating to these orphans, but by giving hope to them with her own biotech company. Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw gives over 2 million dollars for health insurance for 100,000 Indian farmers.

Chief Master Sergeant Tony Travis arrived in Haiti in the capital, port-o-prince. He immediately noticed that the landing ground for planes was already taken up. This was terrible because this takes place right after Haiti’s devastating earthquake, which left Haiti in need for dire help and supplies. In just under half an hour Chief Master Sergeant Tony Travis made a make shift air traffic control for the arrival and departure of the planes. Him and his team were able to get planes frequently travelling through Haiti so that over 4 million lbs of supplies could get into Haiti and much more food and water. His amazing acts to save other people show inspiration of humanity.

Was raised a girl in Afghanistan under the rule and cruelty of the Taliban. She was very lucky to be educated and become literate. Somehow her brilliance and inspiration got her into parliament in which he continues to save others by fighting the Taliban and warlords in Afghanistan. This was replied with threats and expectations of violence towards her, yet she kept fighting against them but she survived all of it and is a symbol to freedom fighters everywhere.

Amy Smith is an engineer and a founder of the MRI scanner. She is very cultured because she has grown up in India and Botswana. She has created a type of hammer/ mill that converts grains to flower and a incubator that doesn’t need electricity. These are due to be used in countries that sufferfrom poverty and also don’t have electricity and common tools and requirements.

Sheik Khalifa Bin Zayed al-nahyan is the president of the United Arab Emirates and Abudabi. When Dubai got into a financial crisis he gave up 10billion of his own countries money to bail Dubai out of this financial crisis thus saving the whole worlds stock market and money flow. In return Dubai named their new 160 story building after Sheik Khalifa Bin Zayed al-nahyan to Khalifi.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan is turkey’s Prime Minister and a man full of vision. He used to be a sufferer from poverty in the streets of Istanbul. He was imprisoned when he magically found his way to parliament when he fell a foul about Turkeys secularist. This only helped his popularity because when he came back from his charge he had even more support. He gives rights to all religions in Turkey (him being deeply Muslim and religious).
