Ireland- A perfect Combination of Beauty and Brains!

Readers,
when I as a layman look at successful people,I think what makes them so different? But at the very next moment I answer myself'   ' Yes, Everything!' Here I am trying to bring you the world's best business women and their biographies.This time I am presenting  Ireland! A model,actress turned business woman! She started working from the tender age.

Kathleen Marie was born on March 20 1963. After working as model and actress she became CEO of her own company which was called Eponymous. A brand product marketing company,  well known in the world. Kathy is called as ‘Ireland’ also. John and Barbara were her parents. Ireland’s parents were working for charity. Ireland, being beautiful, attracted many people. An agent brought her to the lime light. From 1984, Ireland was seen in sports illustrated swimsuit issue for the next 13 years. She kept on appearing on multiple issues for a long time. She was again seen on the front page in 1994, that time she was pregnant!

Ireland also appeared on television and films. In 1993, Ireland put her signature on a line of socks. They sold like hot cakes in the market. Seeing the over whelming response she thought of opening her own establishment called ‘Kathy Ireland Worldwide.’  1994 she published videos on health and fitness. In 2004 she was marketing products from 16 manufacturers. She was enlisted in Forbes as ‘prototype for model-turned –mogul.’ Ireland wrote so many books for children and moms.

Kathy turned out to be a Christian as she took interest in reading the Bible at the age of 18 years.  She studied medical books as her husband is Dr. Greg Olsen. In 2007 Ireland spoke regarding eradicating the poverty on August 13 at the United Nations.  She had become a professional orator to give convincing speeches.  Ireland spoke beautifully and had hit the dart. Again in 2009 Ireland appeared on ‘Larry King’ show to discuss health issues of women. She had slightly put on weight by that time!

Melinda Gates- A Name to change the Lives of the less lucky!

I missed you so much my readers, all the time I was thinking of you! Any way I was time pressed hence was not in picture. Who is not jealous of this lady in the world? Am sure everyone is!  Am talking of Melinda, wife of computer wizard Bill Gates, a person changed the direction of the world! I feel how come these people became so extraordinary being so ordinary? Or answer lies in my question itself! Melinda got married to Bill in 1994 in Hawaii. After her marriage she left Micro soft for the nobler cause. For raising the family! Melinda and Bill Gates have three children.

Melinda thought she would rather help people around the world philanthropically. She opened Melinda charity, and is still working for it. She had very excellent education. Melinda being a top student in class, she obtained an MBA degree also. Her last position was Microsoft’s General Manager of Information Products. After this she got married and left Microsoft. Both Melinda and Bill Gates have donated $24 billion to the foundation. Bill Gates and Melinda have been showered by names, honorary degrees. They have all the good wishes of the beneficiaries. Bill and Melinda were named as Persons of the Year in 2005.

I feel Melinda likes to work behind the curtains watching the difference stringently. Melinda was also named as one of the most powerful women in 2008 by Forbes. Bill and Melinda are well aware of the slumping economy of the world. From 2008, Bill has started working full time in Melinda and bill Gates foundation. More in the next post… wait till then readers cheers..!
