I am curious about who people will say is their one most inspiring hero. For me it is Joni Netanyahu the Israeli officer that led the raid on Entebbe when Idi Amin had hijacked and held hostage an El-Al jet in the early 70s. Joni's life is amazing, being born to an educator he was raised in numerous places including my home town and High School in Cheltenham, PA. He went on to do undercover work for the Mossad in SYRIA during a time of unimaginable tension in the middle east. All the while he remained a kind, gentle and introspective man who wished only for peace and family. My favorite book, Self Portrait Of A Hero is a collection of his letters from 1963 when he was a boy until 1976 when he was a member of the Unit, the man in charge of rescuing the hostages in Entebbe. He was the only man killed in the raid and was only killed at the end by a sniper as the Unit was pulling out. His life is amazing and he is a man I most admire in history. Obviously there are so many men and women that one can call a hero and that deserve to be admired, but for me Joni is the one man who I connect with and I keep coming back to in this capacity. btw - yes he was the older brother of Benjamin Netanyahu, former Israeli Prime Minister.

this may sound cheesey but.... my dad (or my parents more specifically). while i greatly admire a lot of famous people, they didn't raise me. they didn't spend all that money, all that time, all that effort simply because they want the best for me. my parents did.... the older i get, the more i appreciate them!!!

I had an electronics instructor back in Vocational School. He changed my life. I went into that program looking for an out. I was nearly expelled from my high school for computer hacking, was hanging out with the "wrong crowd" and was headed for my first drug deal. He brought a field that I love to my fingertips. He also taught us about the professional world, had heart to hearts with everyone in the class and really seemed to care. Each year since, my electronics class has an unofficial reunion. The vast majority of the 12 of us show up, including Mr. D. And he's the only teacher I've ever had that I keep in contact with.
I will graduate from college this year with an Asociate in Business Management Information Technology and a minor in Electronics engineering.
God graced us with intelligence, let's use it.

i'd have to say the same. Because if it was for him and my mother, i'd be nothing. He has done everything he possibly can for me. he's always bending over backwards and puting everyhing on the line for me and my business. He's the one funding my start-up and backing me all the way. He's deffinitely a great person.
as far as a famous person. I admire Morgan Rose, the drummer from Sevendust. Mainly because i am a drumer, and he is probably one of the most insane drummers out there. Its not so much what he plays, but how he plays. I've been to alot of concerst and no one plays as intensily as him

Solid choice I must say.
It's a tough choice, but probably Mario Lemieux.
