The reason that I want to learn more about him it's because he's a very intelligent men, I think that's because the course which he choosed to do, like philosophy, open your mind for many things that you don't ever mind, important thing about human's life and that way that you look to your life itself. His lectures talk about many topics which happens all the our's life and we don't stop and think about the small things. I really do know, people have many ways to look the life,but Cortella, explain to us one thing : our life begins to lose what it have of better when us close ours eyes for what really matters, and this are so smooth and obvious but we just stop for think about it just when you really do need them.For example, there is one of his lectures which talks about our children, like how them became so diferents, more advanced for their ages, how them don't give much importance for what really is really important ,like their parents, love, life or something else. We're giving value to superfluos stuff, and our life, everyday is becoming that,so I really admire his job because is so educational.======

Famous person: David Belle Carrer: Traceur,Actor... reason: I choose David Belle because i'm a traceur, and i love le parkour, free running and acrobactics, and David Belle is one of my reason for training those sports. David Belle was born and raised in Fécamp, France. He descends from a modest family in the suburbs of Paris. His grandfather Gilbert Kitten, father Raymond Belle, and brother Jeff Belle have been highly skilled rescuers in the French military fire service.

He spent the first 14 years of his life in Fécamp and later in Les sables de olone, a time during which he demonstrated a taste for action and fast movement. He excelled in athletics, climbing, gymnastics and martial arts. He was strongly inspired by his maternal grandfather Gilbert Kitten who evoked in him a passion for heroism and helping other people. In 1990, at the age of 17, Belle left school and moved to Lisses, Paris to begin his national service. In this time he obtained his French national First Aid certificate and UFOLEP certificate of gymnastics leadership. He made close friends with a group of teenagers with a similar physical passion, who later became the Yamakasi(Yann Hnautra, Frédéric Hnautra, David Balgogne, Sebastien and Kazuma). After joining the fire brigade with aspirations of following in his father's and grandfather's footsteps, he was temporarily discharged due to a wrist injury and did not return for personal reasons. He later joined the Troupe de marines in Vannes, where he received a promotion, a gymnastic agility certificate of honour, and champion records for Regimental rope-climbing (which his father had once held) and the Essonne obstacle course. He has however said that his taste and love for adventure and freedom did not go well with the regimented life of the military. Upon completing his national service, he worked in various professions including a warehouse worker, security guard and furniture salesman. He then flew to India and obtained a Black Belt in Kung Fu. After his return he began promoting his discipline by filming footage of his capabilities. In 1997 the Stage 2 team (Francis Marroto, Pierre Sled and Pierre Salviac) were shown a video and decided to create a film about Belle and parkour, in a series of his collaborations with 'the speed-air man', 'catmen', 'la Relève' and 'les traceurs'. The word 'traceur' has since been used to define a practitioner of parkour.

I´ve choosen the most amazing person in the world: Arthur Rimbaud! He is a sec. XIX poet. Born on 10 November 1891, France

Victor Hugo, the world famous poet, decribed Bimbaud as "an infant Shakespeare". He fought against the society as much as he could. His poems weren´t appreciated by the time he was alive (just like Van Gogh). Charleville, his hometown, wasn´t enough for his ambitions, so he moved to Paris. Paul Verlain, a famous french poet, was Arthur´s tutor in Paris. However, Paul himself was influenced by Arthur. The society couldn´t accept Arthur´s radical world´s prespective. He was the youngest person in the French Poets Society. Even though nobody liked Rimbaud´s works, he had never paid attention. Once he peed on poetry acclaimed by the FPS, in front of everybody. Rimbaud belived he could change the world, everything seemed to be wrong in his eyes. His poetry, known as ´the Poetry of the Future´, revolucioned the world some years after his death. Not only in the poetry world, but the society way of living. He produced his best works before his 21th birthday, when he gave up creating art. After his death, at the age of 35, an entire legion of admires apeard around the wrold and Rimbaud´s ideas spreaded around. Until today people are influenced by him.

This empire was the largest and richest that had ever existed.There are several reasons for these great military successes, one of them is that Alexander was a general of extraordinary skill and sagacity , perhaps best of all time because he has yet to lose and territorial expansion is the largest in history, the largest territorial expansion in avery short period of time. He was also a man of great personal courage and recognized luck.

Famous person: René Descartes René Descartes was a philosopher, physiologist and mathematician, born March 31, 1596, in La Haye, in the province of Touraine, in France. Early in his life, Descartes found that he had a talent for mathematics, so he spent most of his years studying pure mathematics, especially analytic geometry. The works of Descartes in philosophy and science were published in five books. The mainstay of Descartes’ philosophy can be summarized by his famous phrase in Latin: Cogito, ergo sum (I think, therefore I am). His contributions to physics were made mainly in optics, but he wrote extensively on many subjects, including biology, brain and mind. In 1626, he settled in Paris, but after two years moved to Holland, where he worked for 20 years, devoting his time and efforts to study mathematics and philosophy.In 1649 Descarteswas invitedto become a teacherof Queen Christina, moved toSweden , but died a fewmonthsafter arrivingfromacute pneumoniaonFebruary 11, 1650.
