    Arnold Schwarzenegger, accomplished a whole lot because he pushed himself and believed in himself. I admire his dedication and wish i had the same spirit.

    Peter van Uhm, my old boss when i was in the military. Gave me a chance to join his squad and pushed me to the limits and made me believe in myself by doing so.

    Michiel de Ruyter, a Dutch admiral... just a plain badass.

    Franco of Cologne.

    A German, Medievil composer. Because of this man, we have Franconian notation in music which is the notation system that we use today.

    Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus

    Short story was he became Dictator of Rome during an invasion. (Rome was a rebublic at the time.) At the end of the crisis Rome offered to make him emperor for life. He declined and went back to his farm. Several years later Rome faced another crisis and once again he was made Dictator of Rome. Once again after the crisis he was offered the posistion for life. He declined and went back to his small farm and lived out his days.

    Taken from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cincinnatus

    Twice granted supreme power, he held onto it for not a day longer than absolutely necessary.
    I sat alone in the dark one night, tuning in by remote.
    I found a preacher who spoke of the light, but there was Brimstone in his throat.
    He'd show me the way, according to him, in return for my personal check.
    I flipped my channel back to CNN and lit another cigarette.

    Queen Elizabeth the First.

    Greatest monarch the world has ever seen.
    In fact as far as I'm aware the UK is the only european nation that outright bans guns for civilians.
    Shotguns I'll give you (provided you're allowed 12 and larger gauges... because I mean... come on...) but not .22s.
    This is why people ban guns. Gun supporters don't know what guns are.

    Talk about altering history, he basically stopped the spread of a young Islam into central Europe with one of the greatest military victories of all time. Such an epic badass.

    We all win when one unknown man is willing to make change.

    Proof that the mmochamp community can be a bitter and lonely place. What a shame.
