I admire ideals, not people. People make mistakes, but they can always have ideals worthy of following.
But if I have to admire people, then it would be Free people. No "free" as in "contrary to enslaved or in jail", but in the sense of being able and brave enough to make their own decisions without the constrictions of guilt and dubious morals, and at the same time being responsible for their own choices and the results they get.

In the desert of Arabia was the Prophet Muhammad (SAAWS) born, according to Muslim historians, on April 20, 571 . The name means "highly praised". He is to me the greatest mind among all the sons of Arabia. He means so much more than all the poets and kings that preceded him in that impenetrable desert of red sand. When he appeared Arabia was a desert -- a nothing. Out of nothing a new world was fashioned by the mighty spirit of the Prophet Muhammad (SAAWS) -- a new life, a new culture, a new civilization, a new kingdom which extended from Morocco to Indies and influenced the thought and life of three continents -- Asia, Africa and Europe.
And more wonderful still is what the reverend Bosworth Smith remarks:
" Head of the state as well as the Church, he was Caesar and Pope in one; but, he was pope without the pope's claims, and Caesar without the legions of Caesar, without a standing army, without a bodyguard, without a palace, without a fixed revenue. If ever any man had the right to say that he ruled by a right divine It was Muhammad, for he had all the power without instruments and without its support. He cared not for dressing of power. The simplicity of his private life was in keeping with his public life."

An honest person. Someone who looks you in the eye and says they will do something for you, then follows through with it. Most people of today say yes when they mean no. Also the person has to respect and love them self as much as they want you to respect and love them.

The kind that balances their purpose for living. They are caring and thoughtful but not to the point of being a doormat. They are a good listener to those who need to talk and are loyal. They are ambitious but know how to soak in the jacuzzi. They love for keeps and their lover is planning to keep them.

A man or woman of God who is dedicated to loving and pleasing God under all circumstances. Who is not afraid to stand up for The Lord. Who fears The Almighty, rather than the ridicule their faith may bring from the unbelievers or from the weak christian.

One who has alot of self disciple, a character trait that I sadly lack. Also someone extremely gentle and humble, and is always looking to how to serve another's best interests. A person who, when you talk to them, you get the impression they are really interested in what you are saying, and care about what affects you.
