Tell us the three people who you admire most. The people who have had the most profound impact on your life, or the people who you most aspire to be like. Names and reasons.

The first one is easy; they are 3 actually though.
1. My parents and younger brother
They know what they are doing and they are good folks.
I'd be proud to be like them.
2. and 3. None, I guess...
I don't care much for famous people, no matter what they did.
Stories get twisted, and they mis the context they need; that's why I can't really admire them.
I need to know the person and form my own opinion about them to admire them.
So my family is 1, 2 and 3 in random order.

And you should try it sometimes, Tyb  Not doing, is missing out on a lot of great fun. | Well I used to go over peoples houses and play games via LAN. But since we all went off to college, and he and his family relocated to Virginia, I havent really done any online gaming.
And also, seriously, I have no idea where to find an internet cafe. Ive never seen one before, and Ive been around public places. You just dont find them around here.

As for me, the three people I admire most are the following:
1. My father: A self-made man, he taught me a lot of things what a real man should be --- and now I'm trying my best to prove to him that all the pains that he went through in raising us kids were well worth it.
2. My mother: An epitome of what a real woman should be: strong-willed, independent yet very loving and understanding. They both make a great combo with Dad. 
3. My grandfather (+) : He taught me what real sacrifice is all about and humor plays a significant part in one's outlook in life.

@the spam..
I was actually born on that day, well 30 years later. 1952 Feb. 3rd was the day the music died. When they announced the crash and such, I was born thirty years later and am completly tone deaf. I blame the date.
@the topic
Wow... tough call.
1. My brother
Because without him I'd be a hippy wuss with no back bone and no spirit. He burned into me the belief that nothing can stop me from being whatever the hell it is i want to, and if it wont move break it. Heh..
2. Bob Dylan.
Thanks Bob.
3. My Mother
The crazy old broad has been through enough crap here life, and even so much more recently... I've seen tougher men crack under lighter situations. That old ladies made of steel I tell you. Steel, the hard to break kind.

Yesua the Christ: His message of unity, love, and peace is still the ideal to which we aspire 2000 years later. Rather a person is a Christian or not, rather Jesus was God or not, his message of compasion cannot be dismissed without dammaging our own humanity.
Beethoven: All of that beautiful music...and he never heard half of it.
Pasteur: "For I have kept from it that which cannot be created, I have kept from it the germs that float on the air, I have kept from it life." Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
