    I don't have much knowledge of most of all the role models mentioned but my role model would be my father.
    I never knew him untill I was 14. After spending most of my teenage life along with him, there can't be no other like him.

    He's no einstein or any of the former models listed but he inspires me to be a better person through all the things he has accomplished in his life.

    The place that is taken
    First off: Kamina.

    Some of you know of him.
    Other know about him.

    In any case, it is his philosophy of life that I adopted. Rather, it is what he was taught by said philosophy that I try to build upon.
    If I can not trust myself, I trust in those that trust me.
    If I can not push onward, I simply look at those ahead.
    If I can not win, I do not lose, since it's only over when you give up.

    Secondly, I have to mention ZUN

    He single handedly created the Touhou series for the past 12 or so games. The whole thing.
    He composed and brought to life the music for the games.
    He wrote the code, did the testing, and made the games themselves.
    He drew the art. All of it.
    All in one year. Almost all from scratch. Every year. The talent and tenacity he wields are awe-inspiring.

    Lastly, there's me. I do not consider myself to be excelling in anything. I have not done any great achievement. In the end, this is really just a manifestation of me being myself. When you look up to others, you forget about yourself. So, I ask myself sometimes, not what Kamina, Jesus, Chuck Norris, or Superman would have done. I as myself what I would have done. Otherwise, if I strive to be others, will I be an entity, or a shadow of these giants?

    My role model? Hard question. I am religious (muslim), so my main role model is, who else, but Mohammed?

    Though, if we look at people that fascinate me at this day and age (still living), i'll go with a couple of them;
    1. Lawson Rollins. His fingerstyle guitar playing got me amazed the same second i saw him.
    2. Zakir Naik. A man that knows both the Bible and the Holy Qur'an by heart. Ask him anything about religion, he knows the answer to it.

    Anyways, i think i'll go with these two men at this point.

    As for real people. There are many traits I admire in people around me, in my family or my friends.
    I also find the Dalai Lama very inspiring. :)
