This month Time magazine introduces us 100

most influencial people around the planet.

I have made a quick review of them and wrote a short notes.

Those I choose are the ones that I am familiar with or interested in.

Maybe you guys have your own favorite celebrity list.

You can check out Time 100 websites to choose the hero in your mind.

My favorite Time people:

Justin Timberlake

Leonardo DiCaprio.

One of the hardest things for actors to do is play someone who's mentally challenged.

He holds the screen, like a great silent actor.

The "kid" has grown up to be a man I'm proud to know and whom

I feel lucky to count as a collaborator.

John Mayer



Listen to his music, though, and you'll discover that Mayer wields sincerity like a pitchfork.

His empathetic voice and emotional fearlessness elevate songs like Your Body Is a

Wonderland and Daughters from pop ballads into more meaningful territory;

give them half a chance, and during vulnerable moments, they'll be your friends for life.

Kate Moss



Her kind of prolonged cool takes not just hard work and great bones

but also an infallible chic-tracking system.

Beauty is not really truth. But in Moss's case, it's very, very persuasive.

Brad Pitt



When a man looks like Brad Pitt, we tend to underestimate him.

We ask him to make a blockbuster a year. Date a beautiful woman.

Have a cute baby. And we're happy.

Condoleezza Rice

Condoleezza Rice knows who she is and remembers where she came from.

As a child, Condi experienced personally what it is like when citizens are denied equal rights

because of the color of their skin.

Raúl Castro

But chances are that after being consigned to the shadows for the past 50 years,

Raúl yearns to be remembered for his own historic contributions.

Hu Jintao 胡錦濤



Hu's vision has been to build a "harmonious society." He aims to overcome the great

internal economic and social tensions that have been brought on in part

by China's extraordinary growth.

Michael Bloomberg

He's gutsy. He's smart. He's rich. He's generous. He's loyal." And he can fly a helicopter.



But perhaps the best reason he belongs in the TIME 100 is because His Honor happens to

be one of the most honorable people in or out of office.

Oprah Winfrey



Oprah Winfrey's own story is an inspiration because she overcame almost every obstacle that a

person might face. She is an icon to people all over the world because of her commitment

to help those who have faced similar obstacles.

Oprah understands that in Africa, women and girls have often been doubly disadvantaged.

They have had the curse of low expectations and unequal opportunities.

She is a model for all of them—and for all of us—of what one person

can do to make a difference in the lives of others.

Warren Buffett



His generosity will make a huge difference in the lives of people around the world,

and his example will be talked about for decades.

That's Warren. He's never afraid to admit what he doesn't know, and he loves to learn.

George Clooney



"The stranger who tells our stories when we cannot speak not only awakens our spirits and

hearts but also shows our humanity—which others want to forget—and in doing so, becomes family."

Chien-Ming Wang 王建民

57 of 100

At 8, barely off the boat from Shanghai, I found my way to the American Dream,

courtesy of my love for Jackie Robinson, the first African American to play major league baseball.

Now there's Chien-Ming Wang.

Al Gore



Al Gore understands the science of global warming better than anyone else in the world of politics.

Paul Allen

Shy in personality but dashing in vision, Allen shows how a thoughtful billionaire

can make the world not just a better place but also a far more interesting one.

Richard Branson

I can only imagine that the man falls asleep at night dreaming about what

adventure he may undertake next.

Pony Ma

Pony's impact on the youth of today's China will be felt in tomorrow's China as the QQ

community fosters an open, trusting, creative generation.

Chad Hurley & Steve Chen

-Founder of Youtube

Shigeru Miyamoto --Funder of Wii



By making video gaming accessible and fun for people like my grandma, Shigeru Miyamoto,

54, head of the Wii design team, has opened the world I live in every day to

people who never even wanted to visit it before.

Steve Jobs



Jobs is still Jobs. He still projects a manic self-confidence in public. He still, at 54,

wears his signature jeans-and-black-turtleneck outfit. And he still has his edge: prosperity

hasn't robbed him of his disrespect for conventional wisdom, his spooky ability to see around

corners, and his feral determination to make perfect products at all costs. All in all, success becomes him.

Michael Moritz



Mike has helped Sequoia export its distinctive investment approach to China,

India and Israel. This is a big departure for the venture-capital industry and

for entrepreneurs around the world who now have a chance to work with

the few people who have been intimately involved with the formation and growth

of some of the most important technology innovators of the past 30 years—

Apple, Cisco, Oracle, Yahoo! and Google. Mike is as global as the firms he has helped launch.
