These are the people I admire and look up to. Why? For one thing, they are successful people and (just as important if not more so) are positive people. [And after thinking it over, they're all smart and have a sense of humor.]
Anyway here they are, not necessarily in any order. [Well, I guess it's sort of in chronological order.]
The Dalai Lama (Tenzin Gyatso)
Warren Buffett (did you know Buffett is five years older than the Dalai Lama?)
Oprah Winfrey
Barack Obama
Cesar Millan
And I guess I'd better mention my Hall of Famers
Jesus Christ
The Buddha (Siddartha Gautama)
Mahatma Gandhi
Richard Feynman
John Wooden
Anybody daring to criticize them goes down a peg in my book. Well, I guess nobody's perfect (with one exception) and above criticism. And I suppose constructive criticism should always be welcome.
