Admit it, in some way or another we have some person we admired and look up to, that person becomes our inspiration and eventually in our way, is an hero one way or another. Ranging from political ideologist, to movie icons, pop stars, religious personality, hereos, a family, or simply a friend. Tell me do you have any person who you look up to ? What significance does that person did give you? I love to hear them.

there are alot of people i admire. anyone who has raised good children by themselves i admire. been there done that. know what a job it is. i admire people w/disabilities who keep on trucking & trying instead of sitting down & giving up. i admire older people who think young & never give in to all the heartbreak, aches & pains that u have as you get older. friends that are battling disease that they know sooner or later they are going to be in really bad shape but keep on trying to live as normal life as they can. there's just alot of people i admire.

I thought the emperor is the one which is being looked up to by people in China, don't put me wrong on that. Yes, it is good to know that your parents are people you looked up to. Anyway, do you look up to someone that inspires you other than your parents ? I thank you for being the first to respond.

I would like to particularly choose Bruce Lee as a person I look up to in terms of martial arts and physical fitness. His motivation as a martial artist is something to be admired upon. I would like to follow the path he took in studying martial arts.

Oh, there are lots and lots of people that I look up to. I will give you one, my hubby. He has a genuinely kind and friendly manner. I wish I did. I am a real grouch sometimes. I am listening to our local church service on radio, because I am somewhat ill today. We have a new pastor, and she is someone to appreciate, admire, and look up to. Have a great day.

My mum would have to be the one I look upto. She adopted me when I was 2, and I was a very difficult child to raise. Never once did she give up, she always kept her smile and imparted much wisdom and strength on me. Being a mother myself now, I know exactly how hard I was for her to care for, but I guess she is seeing the rewards now.

I've never had a hero as such. I admire a lot of people for the talents they have, but I've never actually looked up to someone because I believe we all have our talents and nobody is any less or more important than anyone else.

There are way too many people to write down The people I look up to primarily are the ones that go about their lives quietly, going to work, raising their family, doing simple things to have some fun. They never harm anyone and, for the most part, seem to be invisible to the world
