The most inspiring person to you..?

I was reading over an essay of mine from a year ago, and it had to do with someone who inspired me and whose influence/words/actions had an effect on who I was today. This got me thinking, and I think it would be cool to hear some of yours if you'd like to share. It could be a celebrity, friend, teacher, parent, or random individual who you've never even met but saw doing something inspiring.

One of mine is Ray Charles. I won't get in too much detail right now, as I don't have time, but he never let him being blind stop him from producing beautiful music, an inspiration to just how powerful the music in us is.

So who's yours?

I'm not particular inspired by others, I find what some people do to be incrediable and aspire to be like them, but I don't see them as actual inspirations.
My inspiration to do things comes from what I want to do. My hopes and dreams are my inspiration.
I know a few very inspiring quotes however, and strangely, they come from Relentless.
"There are some amongst us who do not understand compromise. For this we should truly be grateful. Here's to them. No half measures"
"If you ask me what I came to do in this world, as an artist I will tell you, I came to live out loud!"

Either Jaron or Rick Riordan. They both inspired me to start writing.

Charles Bukowski. An American writer of German heritage. He was a well-known poet even though he lived in the crappiest apartment in California living the crappiest life-style possible.
He was an alcoholic, a drug addict and a sex addict. However, through all of that he had more talent in poetry than most of his colleagues. I love his work and the fact that just because he was barely making rent, he was still living life to the fullest.

Lance Armstrong. Due to my interest in athleticism and suchlike activities. This video gives me goosebumps.

After this interview he went on to win the Tour De France for 6 consecutive years from 1999 to 2005.

Good thread.

He actually won seven times in a row, but it's only because he doped like crazy. :awesome:

Hiker. He has selflessly made sure RV was there for us all these years.

My mom has been really awesome too.

I got a few, both ancient and modern, most of them being artists and singers. Of the villagers here, Jaron is one of the few who inspired me to get into writing (Even though I rarely do it now, it actually made me love English and other language classes.) :3

Andrew Hussie.

The man has combined artistic talent with amazing writing and humor.

There's a huge list of men/people that I truly admire, including several villagers (Goatbro, Hennose, Hiker, Jaron, Jeff, etc).

Not sure I could say that they actually inspire me, as I'm still lazy like a boss.

I'm inspired by Jimmybe and Dan Tùrell, a famous danish poet.

(Not actually inspired by Jimmy, I just find him cute)
