To me , JFK was the personification of a young nation honestly trying to do what is good for the benifit of everyone. He is also the personification of wasted potential. I hope the United States wont be thought of in that way. THough i might be too late.

Well, historical persons for inspiration are quit difficult to find for if you say that Napoleon then you can basically be thought of as a world-conqueror and if you say Plato then they say that if there aren't already so many philosephers... therefore I can say none..

Mom and Dad are the only safe ones for me. Everything else gets the reaction above which rider was pretty much talking about.

No - he was just good at stealing ideas and quick enough to be the first to patent them.
For my work as an educator, more people has given me inspiration, but one stands out, Soren Kierkegaard.
Although that I'm considering myself very religious, I never found better inspiration on the personal level and for human interaction, than what the words of Jesus gave - and constantly gives me.

As for my inspirational person, it would have to be Boris Tadic, president of Serbia. A psychologist by profession, he is a long-time member of the Democratic Party.

One female who has kept me inspired is myself, not to sound selfish but I think everyone should be inspired by themselves.
A few males who have inspired me are Shakespeare, Gerard Butler, for very different reasons but they have both led me to new and exciting interests.

Beauty is in the eye of that guy behind the spontaneous diversions, set aside for a good explorer, telling a story about the world.

In spite of that I'm a nomad asian, the most inspirational for me is Der von Kremberg.
