I don't know about five, but Arnold Schwarzenegger inspires the hell out of me. Anybody that can make it to the top of three extremely hard mountains (bodybuilding, film, politics) in one lifetime is a one in six billion. It just goes to show that dedication, discipline and hard work can get you anywhere you'd want to go in this life.

Thank you for your replies, there seems to be a shortage of inspirational people out there (in the public spotlight).

I would like to share the people I thought to be most inspirational when I was growing up.

Martin Luther King Jr.
Robert F. Kennedy
Bob Dylan
Rosa Parks
Jim Morrison


To Moksha,
Perhaps you misinterpreted the question. Name 5 people that inspire you.
I don't think ants and trees qualify. But whatever floats your boat.

Jason Becker
Dave Mustaine
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Itzhak Perlman

That's all I can think of right now. I wonder why I didn't name any other politicians....

1. Bruce Springsteen - I love the way he sings about people who have nothing to their name who end up living in happiness knowing that they've got each other andthat's all that matters to them and that they don't have to worry about what other people think of them.

2. My counsellor - she's the best.

3. Anybody who sticks up for someone who is being mistreated.

4. Neil Warnock - for instilling a never-say-die attitude into me in my quest to recover.

5. Shaun Derry - has taught me to take no bollocks from anyone.
