A few things you MAY want to know when you put your essays together
1. everybody would put a big name in there, it may be better to have someone who americans never heard of
2. John Welch, the former GE CEO, there were scandles around him, you'd better avoid him
3. you'd better not mentioning anybody from SUN. the company is screwed and all of its founders have left.
Agree with Chipmunk, it is amazing that so many programmers in China admire Bill Gates. He basically kills the whole software industry. everybody can admire BG, just not those die-hard programmers.
