Answer 1

There are 2 people I know that I admire greatly because they are intelligent, wise, creative, talented, of strong character, and in good physical condition.

I admire Tom Metzger though though I do not personally know him well.

As for people I did not know personally I admired the life & accomplishments and other traits of-

Adolf Hitler
Dr. William Pierce
Dr. William Shockley
George Lincoln Rockwell
Ben Klassen
Robert Mathews
Dr. Herbert Shelton (a rare good example of a medical doctor)
Ragnar Redbeard (do not know his real name but the book "Might is Right " is so Grrrreat!!!)

Answer 2

Yeah my dad, he's old school 'me Tarzan, you Jane' but he's something special, he works really hard and nothing or nobody can knock his confidence or sway his way of thinking.

Working to provide for his family has been his role since his early 20's, he was a husband and a dad at quite a young age and he made sure he established his business to be able to support the family. He's been doing that pretty much everyday up until now and he's never grumbled about it despite the fact he's been doing it from early adulthood, some may say he missed out on some things in becoming committed and taking on responsibility at a young age but it's made him what he is today.

And of course superman is my other hero!

Answer 3

HA, u asked a question that I was thinking would be very interesting to ask earlier today while I was at work cuz u can read a lot from it.

I believe a true hero, not only to themselves but society, are those who raise themselves above negative influence for the betterment of their lives. They will set a positive example for others towards righteousness.

Some people must make very dramatic changes in their lives risking family, friends and all they own to start over in hopes of a better life, away from alcoholism, drugs, gangs, prejudice, etc. These people not only help themselves, they help society.

Answer 4

I am on the borderline between Gen-Xers and Baby-Boomers.

Baby boomers need Heros (or as i call them, Cheerleaders), someone to symbolize their beliefs. They need Regans, Limbaughs, and the like.

Gen Xers tend not to need symbols and spokesmen for their beliefs.

In this respect, I tend to be more of a Gen-Xer, though I do have an enormous amount of respect for my Father.

He was rather old when I was born. He was born at the end of the roaring 20s, spent his youth in the depression, spent high school watching WWII from a distance, took over running a large family farm when his father fell ill while he was still in high school, brought up a family during the Korean and Viet Nam war, saw all his children reach success, taught me all the real lessons of life, always seemed to have fun even when he was almost broke, was respected and a groundbreaker in his farming techniques, lived life to the end on his own terms, and when he died passed on nearly a million $ in inheritance to his kids even though he just barely squeaked thru high school.

How could you not be impressed with a life like that?

Answer 5

well, i have a few. i mean i have a friend who battled cancer and survived. my great grandmother who i really loved and still idolize. my mom who is doing so well on her own. my dad who has been through so much and has the ability to be able to talk about it without showing he is too upset.i could go on and mention ten other people who i sincerely look up to. but i would have to say that my hero is one of my dear friends. this girl has such power in her voice and actions. she is so caring when you need it, but when you're just being pathetic (perhaps crying over some guy or some other problem that isn't very worthy of gaining so much attention), she will whip you into shape(not literally) and help you to get on your feet again, no matter how mean she has to be in the process. she also gets her opinions out there in the world. she has made a success of herself and i love to just watch her, because she is such an individual. whenever i need some extra support, i ask myself what she would do. and it actually helps.

Answer 6

You have rightly told need not be a celebrity. There are several persons to look upon in every field of activity. When it comes to be leader - sacrifice his all for a cause a martin luther king, Gandhi et., a preacher - Vivekananda, Ramakrishna et., So it depends upon the role models of the particular area.

Answer 8

Above all: Buddha
A Bodhisattva: Green Tara (deity of compassion and protection)
His Holiness: The Dalai Lama (XIV)

Answer 9

Yes. My nephew and his wife have a little boy (not quite 3 years old) who has a brain tumor. After the initial shock of the diagnosis a year ago, they've stepped up to the plate and have done everything possible to create as normal a life as possible for their baby. They take him to his weekly chemo sessions, see every doctor necessary, have him enrolled in sign language classes and he'll start pre-school in the fall.

Answer 10

My husband is my personal hero. He was born and raised in Kenya, his dad died when he was 10, and he grew up to become a professional acrobat who travelled the world from age 15 to 22. I met him when he first came to the US (five years ago) He still performs as an acrobat, but is the most positive person I know.
