Who are 5 people you look up to?

You need to be more specific as to 'look up to' for what reason? Is there some criteria you are using?

Idols are for worship, and I do not worship idols. However, there are a few people that I admire greatly (listed in no particular order): Albert Einstein; Mother Theresa; Ludwig von Beethoven; Gaius Patronius Arbiter; Eithne Patricia Ní Bhraonáin; The Mahatma, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi; Sir Isaac Newton; The crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger; General George Patton; King John of England; Queen Elizabeth II of England; Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart; Galileo Galilei; Dr. Jonas Salk; Dr. Arthur Flemming; The Mayo Brothers; Carol Burnett; Luciano Pavarotti; Abraham Lincoln; Charlemagne; Saladin; William Wallace; the person who invented the cheesburger; and Mom.

I know this is altering your question, but because I have no idols as such, I shall instead say five people who interest me.

Blind Willie McTell
Bukka White
Iain Crichton Smith
Ted Hughes
David Hume

I don't idolize these people but I admire(d): George Carlin, Phil DeFranco, Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw, and Noam Chomsky, and my 9th grade math teacher.

Herman Weintraub, inventor of the hamburger (cheeseburger). Oshkosh, 1948.

I might've added the first person to taste tofu and declare it edible, but he or she may have been insane or desperate ...

My Top 5 Idles

1 Coach Potatoes
2 Engine of 1969 Chevy Nova
3 Computer Processes
4 Coma Patients
5 Eric

I prefer not to use the word "idol" because, to me, that implies that the person is somehow beyond human.

I have a few people that I admire a lot, and when I need inspiration to do my best, or to do what needs to be done, despite my fear or inertia, these are the people who come to mind.

1. Alan Rickman
2. His Holiness, the Dalai Lama (despite his "holiness", I admire him as a man, who has overcome many obstacles, with integrity and gentleness.)
3. Julia Butterfly Hill
4. Jimmy Carter

I'm not sure if I can think of a fifth one right now.

Noam Chomsky
Martin Luther King
Anis Mojgani (slam poet)

1. John Elway

2. Brett Farve

3. Andrew Jackson

4. My Grandmother

5. The Rock

I also look up to five people, The Rolling Stones . But on your list, I also like Adam Sandler I last saw him in the movie, anger management, very funny

1. Iosif Stalin

2. Vladimir Lenin

3. Megas Alexandros

4. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini

5. Adolf Hitler

^ I see you had no room for Grigori Efimovich Rasputin.

Bill Walsh

George Seifert

Joe Montana

Steve Young

Ronnie Lott

(Is that 5 already???)


PS: I have no problem with the use of the word idol. Its just a word. I don't literally have an altar dedicated to the 49ers.

If I made a list of people I admired or would like to emulate; it'd be more like:

Audrey Hepburn

Jane Austin

Madeline Albright

Princess Di

Michelle Obama
