For many us, there are people we meet, celebrities we discover, or famous writers, philosophers and thinkers, etc., who inspire us in some form or another. People who make us look at things from a different, often new perspective, or affect our lives by the good (or bad) examples they give us.

Who is / are your role model / models?
More importantly... Why?

It can be anyone, even your next door neighbour.

I shall post a list later, when I have the time.
