Angela Merkel is one of the most powerful women of the world and the first woman to have achieved such high ranks in the German politics. Her power and charisma is clearly visible from her status and say in the politics of her country. Unlike actors, singers and other celebrities, she has worked really hard to meet up new people and do something good for people of her country other than entertainment.

I feel sorry sometimes for these sportsmen and women who put in just as much effort as the footballers. For example, athletes train at least as hard as footballers but have to be happy if they can earn enough to finance a decent education.
