Alright. James here! :D
Im going to be blogging on the topic who's who, since Siddharth stole my topic on water. hahaha. No worries dude. :D
Okie, i shall start.
Im sure most of you know that there are a number of famous australians that are world renown for a wide variety of things like sports, music and many more.
First off, Australia is very very successful at selling its education to foreign students. This is depicted by the number of foreign students seen in the school. Take a good look and you'd see people of different races and nationhood around. These people come from all over the world, from countries like Malaysia, U.S.A, England, Japan, China, Korea and many more, just to study in Australia.
Australia is also known for making some of the worlds best wines. If you are interested, do check out http://www.wineaustralia.com/australia/ for a wealth of information.
Now i shall touch on the subject of famous Australians. I believe a couple of you might have read about Hugh Jackman, most well known for acting X-Men and Van Helsing. Before making the big break onto the Hollywood scene, he spent awhile working in a shell petrol station and as a clown for children's parties(Imagine wolverine being a clown! HAHA). His very story shows perseverance, ability to succeed and responsibility. He was given a small bit of inheritance from his late grandmother, setting his sights clearly on the media industry, he wisely used the money to enroll in the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts of Edith Cowan University in Perth, Western Australia, from which he graduated in 1994.
Another famous Australian I'm rather positive that all of you know is none other than the Prime Minister of Australia Kevin Rudd. Kevin Rudd grew up on a dairy farm, where his mother passed away when he was only 11 years old. After this, the family was forced to leave the farm under hardship. At the age of 15, Kevin joined the Australian labour Party. He studied and majored in the Chinese Language and Chinese History. During his study, he had to work by cleaning the house of political commentator Laurie Oakes so as to support himself. Mr Rudd shows strong qualities in being hard-working and committed to his study during his time.
I believe that learning how important both hard work and perseverance is to succeed in life, work and academics. By instilling this three values into oneself, one will be able to succeed.
Thats all for now!
