Sathosi - why? No answer needed
einstein's story is pretty interesting. he was considered an outsider by the whole physics/theoretical physics community, which is probably what helped him make his discoveries; because sometimes conventional wisdom falls into a lull and restricts itself. i like the fact that he was an independent thinking outsider.
Who can believe that the person who was denied a Teacher's job proposed something that is now taught worldwide.
I had to pick on the spot I'd say George Washington. From what I know about him he seems like a decent guy and I can respect that.

I like Leonardo Da Vinci , he was genius at everything he did. He was a scientist , sculptor , architect , mathematician , geologist and much more .

Also Galileo, and all of the past's scientists who had the courage to rebel against an overpowered irrational entithy for the noble cause of reason.
Jesus. He could heal people and he is our savior 
I think everybody from history - good or bad - is worth saying 'Hey, they're important'. Because they changed the world in different ways. Yes, I know what Adolf Hitler, Stalin, and what Columbus did was terrible. But they still changed the world. Like now we know not to allow genocide, and how discovering new things could kill people.
your right and this is how I think if no one did these things and they didn't happen who I really think the same. If none of this happened who knows where we'd be at now
i just read einstein's biography. he's my favorite; not only because of his non-conformist attitude that helped him make great discoveries, but also because he was an interesting individual who actually cared about human society. he was a bit naive to push for a world government, as that wouldn't solve anything, but he admitted that it was a long shot.
while i think he is interesting, i don't like him much. i read his biography and he came off as a self-interested prick. i also don't like the way he ran apple.
I think the biggest historical figure I wish I would have met had to be Steve jobs. The dude was a genius and I loved the way he thought . Plus he smoked herb n took acid
