Men Of The Moment

What a contrast in the news these past few days -  one odious man totally obsessed with himself, and another whose life has been spent in thinking of others.http://www.independent.co.uk/…/jean-vanier-philosopher-who-…
I know which one I believe should be the role model for the lads I teach

    And who is getting the most attention right now? Awful man.
    Jean Vanier is such an example of selflessness.

    Put the man on the first photo out to pasture, he is much too full of himself!!!

    Well said!
    So often people list their "100 things to do before they die" and very, very rarely does it include anything that benefits anyone else other than themselves.
    A sad reflection on human nature.

    I have to be honest, I don't know who the first guy is. But I'm a long time admirer of Jean Vanier and so excited he won this important award.

      His name is Jeremy Clarkson. It pleases me no end that you have no idea about HIM, but you DO know and admire Jean Vanier!!

    Thanks for the clarification! I feel like I've heard the name Jeremy Clarkson, but don't know why. I guess I can always google ... or not. xo
