There are and were people in this world who were god-gifted with extra-ordinary talent with which they helped the hamanity, got fame or in some cases remained invisible in a sense. History is full of such people, whether a poet, courtier, ruler, mathematician, doctor, father, mother, or any field of life.
I have tried to list a few of them here on my site, which are an influence for others in one way or other in the present world. I would welcome any corrections and my apologies in case there is something misquoted.
