As a kid growing up, I had several role models. One was Michael Jackson. Every kid wanted to be Michael Jackson in the '80s. Over the years though, my list have shifted from Bill Gates to Larry Ellison, from Ted Turner, Richard Branson to Michael Dell, then from Nelson Mandela to the Dalai Lama.

But as a young adult, the personalities who have made a lasting impression on me are the duo of Mother Teresa and Mahatma Gandhi. _{I have a spiritual attachment to both personalities.}

Let me hear yours; who is/are your most admired personality?

As a growing child I thought the world of Bill Cosby. Then, I fell in love with Wole Soyinka and Sidney Sheldon but today, Opra Winfrey is my role model. I love where she's coming from, where she is and where she's going to.

I love her strength, her personality even after all she passed through as a kid.

first off, our LORD JESUS CHRIST for dieing for my numerous sins

erm, when i was growing up, i tot if i God should just 'dash' me a magic wand, ill turn myself to James Bond. (Roger Moore). later, as i grew up, MKO Abiola touched me the way he fought relentlessly till death for his mandate. and now, ill say im impressed with Ngozi Okonjo iwealla for getting to that position(MD of World bank). shes female yeah i know,she must be a diligent person to have risen to that level.

@ debosky,
Don't spoil this thread with those names. But. . . wait a minute, you could be right, those guys have made something out of what is suppose to be a problem. _{Their size!}

Trinity (Father,son & Holy spirt)- for ur inspiration.

Dad & Mum: Made me who i am

Sisters: If my sister's in trouble, so am i

Brothers: Naughty, but the best.

U: That u gave me ur heart

In all, i admire all God's creation, the peculiarity in everyone, the distinction between u & me, what makes the other person him/her, their's a drop of greatness in everyone, which brings admiration, bring out that awesome part of u

Jacob! I love his scheming as he moved from a selfish young man to a man that won God admiration! His life never stop giving me a new lesson. Then Joseph, with his faith and endurance as he moved from prison to palace.

Helen Keller, a Blind and Deaf lady whose wisdom and life had touched lot of people,

My adopted sister, though unknown now, for bringing out the hidden traits in me. In few years time, the nation would soon be seeing a brilliant Medical Doctor from St Kitt whose impact would be felt by thousands, I won't mention your name.

And then, my mother for spending her wealth to give hope to countless of people without demanding praise.

And on a negative front, Adolf Hitler for his ability to bring his prison dream to reality against odds. Thank God, the world did not end. And Sani Abacha, for nearly bringing Nigeria to destruction.

On the last two gentlemen,
I don't like their works but they showed the power of daydreaming!
