Just want to know who in history: politics, history, mathematics, science, sports, any discipline or the arts....you admire.

I am looking for some good people to read about. I love biographies.

  Hey, this is Ellen.
  I don't always admire myself. I have high regard for myself mostly and I am confident, but yes, everyone has a wild-side. I actually feel bad for being impatient and for easily being annoyed with people.
  
  But, I love life. Thanks.

  Hmmm. When I think of what I've felt for other people and the monosyllables we use to describe our emotions, no one word is enough. I might say I love myself, but to give you the full picture I might also express a range of deeply held negative emotions. OK, never mind me.
  
  Ellen - Highly recommend "Wittgenstein's Poker" (someone else you can admire and dislike simultaneously). It holds obvious interest for me, as it is about the standoff between two great philosophers in Cambridge, England, both of Austrian Jewish descent. Somewhere between a detailed biography, a history and one of the most stimulating pop books on philosophy I can recall having read.

  I'm Lakshmi.Admiring others always helps to improve yourself.I admire my parents,my teachers,me friends,my plants,birds,animals,even the characters in some stories&novels.It helped me to enrich my spirit.
  Adimiration and liking go together.If you admire a person,you like all he does.When you like a person soon you start admiring him.So life would peaceful.
  Everyone in the world has something to be admired.We have to realise their speciality and admire them.If you really admire others,you are surely gifted with a great character.

  We all admire, but are we wrong in who we selectively admire? Are we obliged to admire everyone and for reasons whi we can't give?

  The truth is I admire people with 'Originality', not those of building blocks.

  Hey Jez, good to see you're on posts after Passover.
  I didn't see this at the my university library, and I didn't see Russell's book on happines either, so I may get to B & N (Barnes and Nob) and see!

  I admire Sri Ramakrishna and his disciple Vivekananda.
  
  Sri Ramakrishna lived one of the purest and spiritual lives ever in the world. Some people consider him an incarnation of God.
  
  Narendranath Datta(or Vivekananda), was the first Indian to cross the sea to US and spread the message of the Vedanta and Hindu religion to the Western World.
  
  Here's a link on them

  Learn about this great PATRIOT who spent so many years in jail. He refused to betray his country. He died a poor but proud man

  I admire Sri Karunamayi because She is so fileed with love and compassion it puts a wonderful vibration over whoever is around Her and fills the whole room. I have never experience it directly, but, I hear it is really cool! B)

  I admire Dr.M.S.Swaminathan the living Scientist of India, who proposes lots of ideas to develop India. He must be appreciated by all. And our Indian foolish politicians must obey him and give him a chance to rule our country. He will definitely change our country as a developed country in the world.
