Everyone has a role model of some sort. Some even have more than one. Mine are my mom, my grandmother, and Bill Gates. What about you guys? Who are your greatest heroes?

My mother
Roger Bannister, the first man to break four minutes for the mile and who later became a physician. He proved it was possible to do what was once considered impossible and to have a full life.

Oookay....

Was it his interview in Bowling for Colmubine? He gave surprisingly intelligent and sensitive answers for someone who seems out to shock the world......

Fictional: The Lone Ranger

Quote:

The lone Ranger's Creed

"I believe that to have a friend,
a man must be one.

That all men are created equal
and that everyone has within himself
the power to make this a better world.

That God put the firewood there
but that every man
must gather and light it himself.

In being prepared
physically, mentally, and morally
to fight when necessary
for that which is right.

That a man should make the most
of what equipment he has.

That 'This government,
of the people, by the people
and for the people'
shall live always.

That men should live by
the rule of what is best
for the greatest number.

That sooner or later...
somewhere...somehow...
we must settle with the world
and make payment for what we have taken.

That all things change but truth,
and that truth alone, lives on forever.

In my Creator, my country, my fellow man."

The Lone Ranger

In real life?

Nikola Tesla
