  I was just doing my page on myspace and this question really stuck with me. I don’t know if something is wrong with me or what, but if I have to answer this question truthfully I have to say I don’t have one. I like to learn about many different people and their achievements but in reality I just like being myself and not try to emulate someone else. Though I suppose knowing who is someone’s hero is can tell a lot about the person and what he or she is striving toward.

  Anyway, your thoughts please :)

  Well, Jesus Christ for one. But I'm kind of impressed with 'Little Toe' from this board. Maybe not a hero, but seems like a good guy!

  I kind of like Little Toe, too--especially if his picture is his real one...rowrrr!!

  Rahab was always my favourite bible 'hero'.

  Nowadays? I don't know, I guess anyone whom I observe trying to make a positive difference in a graceful, inspiring and happy way. For instance, gone are the days when we need someone like Germaine Greers to stand up for women's rights. I just admire any person who is making a positive difference whilst also enjoying life (not being bitter or lambasting others as wrong). I am particularly inspired by so many younger people being successful in business whilst also bringing about changes and awareness to the environment, proving that one does not exclude the other.

  Damn' Outofservice ! you went faster than me on this one !

  Since I've read the bible by myself

  I would say Jesus Christ too (and I'm not kidding !!!) ... Why? Because this guy had everything spiritually COMPASSIONATE AND BOLD - WITY/STRAITFORWARD at the same time EVEN FUNY (you have to read in between the lines - in Paul's messages too) and A REAL GIVER in every matters that really matter ... WISE

  I'm far from trying to be like him (give me 10 000 years and I might only try to get there), but he is my hero NOW !

  Imagine correcting Isaac Newtons work, figuring out antigravity, relativity, the photelectric effect and dark matter 100 years ago with nothing but a pencil, in Nazi Germany, as a Jew, and becoming the father of the space age. That was Einstein.

  No personal hero's just people who are positive and encouraging.
