Recorded Ted Turner said elsewhere, not written here
I’m most proud of my family. My five children are all doing quite well, and I’m proudest of them. Of my business accomplishments, obviously I’m proudest of CNN, although on any given day at any given time, the Cartoon Network’s audience is about twice as large.

Ralph Nader Lawyer and consumer advocate; author of Unsafe at Any Speed
I think three things. One is the great advances in auto safety. I mean, there are tens of thousands of people being saved every year because cars are safer, and millions of people over a decade, injuries prevented. I think that’s a good example of the need to make technology more humane. We may benefit from a lot of technologies, but they exact a cost. Emphysema, cancer, soil contamination, contaminated water, death and injury on the highway. We’ve got to put more effort on making them more humane.

Andre Geim Condensed matter physicist; Nobel laureate in Physics, 2010
OK, but speaking seriously, I’m actually quite proud of my IgNobel Prize – not because of IgNobel Prize – it’s a more subtle association. Essentially, yeah, IgNobel Prize is given for something which forces people to smile. ... with IgNobel Prize they ask you a few weeks in advance whether you are ready to accept this prize or not. So we considered hard and, at the end, we had courage to accept this IgNobel Prize, yeah. So, I’m proud that I had enough courage to do that and I do not regret accepting it.

David Boies Trial lawyer; chairman of Boies Schiller Flexner
I think that cases are, in some senses, are a little like children. I have six children. It’s hard to say which one I’m most proud of. But I think that certainly the marriage equality cases are cases that I am enormously proud of. I think that we have in those cases contributed to a really important change in this country. The cases that I’ve done in the area of racial equality as a young lawyer working in Mississippi, and then later on I successfully sued the Republican National Committee on behalf of the Democratic National Committee in 1986, I think it was, to stop the RNC from targeting black and minority districts with voter ID, voter security kinds of tactics. That litigation I’m pretty proud of.

Jhulan Goswami Indian cricketer; the leading wicket-taker in the history of women's international cricket
I am fortunate enough to be able to serve the Indian team for 20 years, able to contribute a little bit from my side, whatever way I was able to, with a lot of honesty and dedication. Wearing the India jersey, walking out of the dressing room and singing the national anthem at the center... those will always be the proudest moments of my career. Always enjoyed that,
