While the earth
revolves around the sun, the two legged inhabitants of the earth are revolving like
madcap around the money. However, for me the definition of money is little
different than what other feel. Money is a traveller with a transit visa and travelling
constantly for free of cost. The hard earn money also deserts faster than it
comes but that is the life should be, so we should always on our toes to get
back. However, reputation, name, fame are not an one step ladder. All our life
goes to gain it and simply only one mistake needed to throw it away. The
million dollar mistake, sometime it happens without ones knowledge for which we
only can blame our fate but more often peoples commit a pre planned hara-kiri
to throw it away what they acquired in a life. Greed, rage and a weak mentality
which generate those moments of madness. Within no times they became turned to zero
from a hero. Often we feel sorry for their misdemeanor but guilty should be
punished with equal major. Here is some very famous public figure and their
million dollar mistake.
O. J. Simpson
O. J. Simpson is a
retired American professional athlete and actor. Simpson was the first
professional football player to rush for more than 2,000 yards in a season, a
mark he set in 1973. He holds the record for the single season
yards-per-game average. Simpson was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in
1985. After retiring from professional football, Simpson had a successful
career as a football broadcaster and actor.
In 1995, he was
acquitted of the 1994 murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald
Goldman after a lengthy, internationally publicized criminal trial, the
People v. Simpson. In 1997, a civil court awarded a judgment against Simpson
for their wrongful deaths.
In September 2007,
Simpson was arrested in Las Vegas,
Nevada, and charged with numerous
felonies, including armed robbery and kidnapping. In 2008, he was found guilty
and sentenced to thirty-three years' imprisonment, with a minimum of
nine years without parole. He is serving his sentence at the Lovelock Correctional
Center in Lovelock, Nevada.
Bill Clinton
Former, United
States President Bill Clinton considered to be most charismatic
President until the famous sex scandal blown it away.
In 1995, Monica
Lewinsky was hired to work as an intern at the White House during Clinton's first term, and
began a personal relationship with him, the details of which she later confided
to her friend and Defense department co-worker Linda Tripp, who secretly
recorded their telephone conversations. When Tripp discovered in January 1998
that Lewinsky had signed an affidavit in the Paula Jones case denying a
relationship with Clinton, she delivered the
tapes to Kenneth Starr, the Independent Counsel who was investigating Clinton. President Clinton
was thereby acquitted of all charges and remained in office, he was lucky to survived.
Lance Armstrong
Like many others,
he e was my idol. Lance Armstrong, the American former professional cyclist,
who won the prestigious Tour de France a record seven consecutive
times between 1999 and 2005 but subsequently he has been disqualified from
each of those races and banned from cycling for life for doping offenses by the
United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) in 2012.
Lance Armstrong
admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs in an interview with Oprah
Winfrey. Did he use EPO? Testosterone? Cortisone?
Human growth hormone? Illegal blood transfusions and other blood doping?
Armstrong answered "yes" on all counts yet many thinks that
what he is disclosing is the half-truth.
Tiger Woods
Considered to be a blue-eyed
boy until his multiple affairs and sex scandals exposed. Tiger is ace
golfer who won seventy-five career titles but then he too blew it partially.
The National Enquirer published a story
claiming that Woods had an extramarital affair with New York City nightclub manager Rachel
Uchite. After initial denial about the affairs, Woods released another
statement in which he admitted "transgressions" and apologized
to "all of those who have supported him over the years". More than a
dozen women claimed in various media outlets to have had affairs with Woods.
Finally, he released a statement admitting to infidelity and apologizing
again, as well as announcing that he would be taking "an indefinite break
from professional golf".
Hansie Cronje
Hansie Cronje was a
South African cricketer and captain of the South African national
cricket team. He was a hero for his peoples and also peoples from other cricket
playing countries but everything blewn away when Cronje admitted his links with
the bookmaker.
Cricket's biggest
match-fixing scandal was unearthed in 2000, when Cronje admitted he had accepted
money to throw matches.
At the age of 32,
on 1 June 2002, Cronje's died in a plane crash.
Mohammed Azharuddin
Azharuddin was
captain of the Indian team for most of the 1990s. Statistically he is one of India's
most successful captains. He won 103 ODI matches as the captain of the
Indian team, which is still an Indian record. His 14 Test Match wins as
captain, was a record until it was bettered by then Indian cricket captain Sourav
Ganguly with 21 test match
He was one of my
favourite cricketer until he was banned for his involvement in a
match-fixing scandal. The match-fixing scandal left a deep scar on his life. It
took cricket away from him. It left him stranded one short of 100 Tests.
Mohammed Azharuddin
found guilty of match fixing along with other cricketer such as Ajay Sharma,
Ajay Jadeja, Dr. Ali Irani, a physiotherapist, and Manoj Prabhakar.
Mohammed Azharuddin, was banned from the sport for life for his involvement in
match fixing.
Oscar Pistorius
I saw him blazing
through the Olympic track and his courage forced me to conclude that being an
able body person, I am living a worthless life.
Oscar Pistorius the
South African sprint runner, who also known as "The blade runner"
and became the first amputee runner to compete at an Olympic Games.
On 14 February
2013, Pistorius was charged with the murder of his girlfriend Reeva
Steenkamp, who was fatally shot at his home in Pretoria. He claimed that he thought someone
had broken into his home and shot several times through the bathroom door which
killed Reeva Steenkamp. Do anyone need to shot several times to kill a someone,
even it is a intruder?

doth goad us on to sin in loving virtue. - William Shakespeare !!!
