John Nels Hatleberg.  Anyone who is into diamonds might know him. Of course, I have not heard of him before this. He is the world famous diamond design expert. An artist with stone and gem, a designer, a world leading authority in his field. He works with South African government, British Musuem, consults De Beers..in all things diamond!. John says by age ten, it was clear he did not enjoy his piano lessons. His true passion even then was stone. He was fascinated with stones and gem. He said that he had incredible parents who not only allowed him to quit his piano BUT also enrolled him in a gem-cutting course at age 10 !

Story #6 Dorian Yates... The juvenile who became a bodybuilding legend

Image
Dorian Yates is a former professional bodybuilder, one of the  greatest the world has ever seen. He was   crowned  Mr Olympia     six times from 1992 to 1997.     His childhood was pretty 'idyllic' until his dad died of a fatal     heart  attack. From then on, his life turned upside down. Hung     around with the wrong people and got into trouble with the     law. When he was at the youth detention center age 16, he     discovered bodybuilding which he felt he could excel in and get    somewhere in life through it and, eventually, he did - Dorian      would then become Dorian The Shadow .      I saw him in the bodybuilding magazines back in the 1990s.
