My HERO BY Ryan Casurella -
let's take a closer look...
My hero is Ole Kirk Christiansen because he made an amazing building toy for people of all ages and he created a huge business from no money. In fact, according to astumpeople.com, his products were so amazing that wannabes made counterfeit Lego toys.
Also, according to astrumpeople.com, Lego is a business more famous than Hasbro and the Barbie dolls.
Ole Kirk Christiansen's Profile
OKC's DOB was 4//7/18, he was born in Filskovand, Denmark, and he was one of 10 children, and had 4 kids in his later life, wife died. (FamousInventors.org)
One reason MR. Christiansen is my hero is because he was able to make a toy so simple, yet create intricately and differently-patterned Lego bricks (like modern minifigure parts and eye-catching packaging). (See JANGBRiCKS on YouTUbe.)
Godtfred and Ole worked in a business together and created many different and varied Lego toys, like buses and cars and ferries. (Famousinventors.org). (See JANGBRiCKS on YouTUbe.)
In conclusion, Ole Kirk Christiansen is my hero because he made a business with no money, and he made a toy that will forever live in our hearts. He has made a toy that will make kids of all ages around the world be happy.
