I'd really like to meet Abraham Lincoln.
He started with nothing, built a life and reached the pinnacle of politics. Recognized that slavery was an evil that had to be ended. Put the country back together after the war and was killed for being a great leader. The great Orator that could enshroud all who listened.
Leadership at its finest.

And he continued his work, despite the loss of three sons. All that he did, and to me those are greatest challenges he overcame.

He masterfully choose a cabinet comprised of, for the most part, political rivals that would eventually bond and come to respect Lincoln for his character and leadership. They were of great value to the president as he led The nation through the civil war. Recommend The book "Team of Rivals: The political genius of Abraham Lincoln" by Doris Kearns Goodwin. My favorite book on the Lincoln presidency.

Agree whole hardily. someone that had that vision that he did and understood the resistance he would face. yes meeting special people like Albert Einstein would be great, Lincoln stood out as a leader in so many ways.

King Solomon.. (one of King Davids sons from the Bible)...the man had wisdom off the charts...ruled over many..had monetary wealth that didn't quit..his political savvy gained him 300 plus women..yet he wrote about it all being for nothing...vanity and the futility etc.. would just like to pick his brain as to how he did and accomplished all that

Because he built a pagan temple in Jerusalem for his pagan wife in God'd holy City he lost God's favor and God responded by taking his first born son and splitting Israel into two kingdoms (Israel and Judah). Although God gave him all the things you mentioned and more, he abused them and lost God'd favor, sadly.

SGT Mark Urben - Yep...that is what is recorded from those times..I believe that went along with how he was able to make "deals "...or treaties with other Kings that wanted to come after him which in turn amassed all the wimmen ( wives and concubines)...the temples came from being under the influence of the respective wimmen :)

Albert Einstein - He's one of the most well-known and influential scientists of the 20th century. His contributions to physics and our understanding of the universe are still relevant and studied today and his theories and discoveries challenged long-held beliefs and provided new insights into the workings of the universe.
