Who inspires you?

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

I sometimes think if I had a nice office, I'd have framed pictures on the wall of all those famous (or less so) people who downright inspire me.

 

Winston Churchill would be the first, Rudolf Diesel, Jesse Owens, Dick Winters, Archie Graham to name but a few.

 

Who would yours be???

[Mick Stockbridge]

The first that comes to mind would be Sean Kelly. Irelands hard man of cycling during the eighties and nineties.

Reg Coates but then again i would never have an office

[Husqvarna King]

Graeme Mcmahon, Reg Coates, and Bob Willis from the old England Cricket team:001_smile:

in a gold mounted frame and next to him, his 2IC. Peter Griffin from family guy...

 

I would also have Muhammed Ali, Jack Johnson (First black boxer to win Heavy weight title), Jerry Garcia and G. Beranek.

sadly i have never been inspired by people, i have always been driven by the need to prove myself to others, which i now know is rubbish. i watch the program 'the secret millionaire' when i see how some folk have had to fight for everything there whole life and others who help folk just because they want to, with no financial reward or praise, it humbles me. there was a guy on one night, who's wife left him with 3 kids and the eldest wee girl got cancer. this guy had no job, looked after the kids and gave them a great home. he must have been to hell and back. but he maned up and got on with it. the lady gave him 10k for a holiday. he couldnt find the words, and was embarrased but you could see the relief and hope it brought the guy.it happened on another episode as well, a guy gave up his job, moved to where his kids now lived. lived in a bedsit and had a crapy job. you could tell he never ate and was worried sick, but he got on with it for the love of his children. so i am now inspired by single dads who take on the world and win.

As SWB stated, i've never really been inspired by one or a few people more inspired by human endeavour

Marco Polo and Wilfred Thesiger... that Jesus of Nazareth was also a rather remarkable chap..
