What is a compelling personal statement?

I've been browsing through the forum and I've been seeing this term used a lot. I was just wondering if anyone had examples of a compelling ps? or what people would consider something compelling?

Wrong forum but I'll answer. Check the examples thread stickied at the top of the PS forum, there are many good ones in there.
