    Do you have anyone that you look up to?

    I have a few - Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Wonder, Osamu Tezuka, James O' Barr my art teacher(s), and OF COURSE, my parents :3

    There's a lot more that just aren't coming to mind or are close personal friends as well...

    I look up to my mom, dad, aunts,uncles, Chris Johnson and Allen Iverson.
     
    I never had any role models. They tend to let you down when you need help at the important times.
     
    My parents (to a degree, I know them too well. XP), my grandpa, and my youth minister, Matt. There's a couple kids I look up to, also.

    That's a fair point. But everyone lets you down eventually. It's a just a matter of how and when.

    Apart from the expected people like my family, I look up to Zach Braff and John C. Mcginley. I don't have any really specific reasons why, but I find them hilarious and they're really strong people.
     
    Joey Tempest... Well, the whole of Europe. Despite a 10 year break (about), they were reborn, starting from nearly nothing, and have produced amazing work.

    Erm... I also kinda look up to Hugh Laurie. He is a depressive, and he doesn't show it, and also was a very comic actor, now playing a more serious role. This sort of person is someone I look up to. Shows strength, in a way.
     
    My role model is Eloise, from the Eloise book series. I love how mischievous she is. There are lots of other people who I've found inspiring, but I don't consider them my role models because I don't try to emulate them in any way.

    I also secretly look up to my brother. I think he's really clever and funny, but I'd never tell him that.
     
    Edwin Hubble, Nikolai Tesla, Albert Einstein, Corazon Aqiuno and many more. They usually inspire me to never give up on my dream.
     
    I've never had a role model. No one has ever made me want to strive to be like them or be a better person. That's not to say I'm a bad person, its just that no one has inspired me yet.
     
    Celebrities - Hikaru Utada! She's The Only Celebrity I Look Up To Now. ^_^
    My Family & My Best Friend (I Never Tell Her This)
     
    I never have role models. There is no point in having one when they'll disappoint you one way or another.
     
    Yeah, I still do. They are really my main sources of inspiration.

    -Nobuo Uematsu
    -Hayao Miyazaki
    -Will Wright
    -Shigeru Miyamoto
    -Yuji Horii
    -Hironobu Sakaguchi
     
    I look up to my mom for the importance education; Gandhi, King, etc., for morals, Carl Sagan for the pursuit of knowledge, and there are probably others but those are the people that stand out in my head.
     
    I don't have role models, I rather find out about the mistakes in life my own way. There's also no one in particular I look up to.
     
    I've no role models as such but my own fictional characters seem to be helpful, since my mind seems capable of emulating multiple mentalities within itself. "What would Nanako do" is always a good question, I find, when facing problems.

    I actually look up to all three of my siblings for guidance, and I can guarantee you all that none of 'em have any idea- whatsoever. You see, they all have traits I admire and talents I wish I possessed. As a child, this drove me nuts, but as an adult I can't help but look upon them in awe, and apply the same courage and skill they put forth in their efforts into my own. I realize it's completely normal to look up to my two oldest siblings, but heck, I see a lot to admire in my younger sibling as well. I mean, someone doesn't have to be older than you to set an example.

    Other than that, I really admire people in the media who choose to be who they are and teach people to do the same. Michael Jackson and Lady Gaga may be a little eccentric at times, but they did/do set good examples, and I admire them for that.
