So... with a few exceptions, the people of NS are reasonably intelligent, friendly, enjoy debating etc.

So I thought, what the hey, let's ask them all.

Who do you guys look up to in life? If you have one (or more) who are your idols?

I don't think I look up to anybody, really.

I have a special place in my thoughts for certain unknowns I have met in my life who have passed on a measure of their wisdom to me for doing nothing more than listening.

Otherwise, if I had to pick a hero .... Malcolm X.

I dont really idolize anyone.

I do however, have a huge respect and admiration for my father. What he has accomplished and how he has lived his life. He is "the rock" in our family and I hope that one day, I will feel I have been as good as him.
