As a boy there was an old man in my town who was honored every year as he was one of the few surviving people that had personaly known Abraham Lincoln.
I met him and walked away sadly thinking to myself "How sad, the only thing this man did in his life time is to have met a famous person."
come on people lets hear it, what famous person have you ever met.
What about you?

I've met a lot of Cricketers, a few singers and a couple of actors (TV actors not movie actors) and an ex weatherman who used to jump around on a floating map of the UK lol
But the people i have been the most priviledged to have met and sat with were some amazing muslim scholars.
You will one day if you have not already. One day some of your current friends may become famous.
A few of my friends in school and college went on to become famous.
