Theres lots we dont like (quite right too) and my fuse is short and my list could have been long lol but who do you like, who doesnt annoy, who do you admire. Maybe they inspire, lift your spirits, make you cry with happiness, make you see things in a good way. Heres a a few of mine...

Old folks that hold hands still at the age of 87.... awww, lovely stuff!!!

People that have very old dogs they walk patiently and talk to as though they were talking to their elderly parent.

Emergency/ rescue services folk. Just getting in there and on with it without worrying too much for themselves.

I admire my dad's strength and stubbornness to not show weakness.

I admire my step-mother's ability to do her job, and having done it since something like 16. (carer for the physically and/or mentally disabled)

I admire my brother's ability to be blasé about stuff that would otherwise trouble the heck out of me.

I admire the stubbornness and strength of my aunt, of whom died of cancer, a little while ago. Why? Because she didn't half hold on for a long-*** time. She was a fighter, and I found that inspirational. My family name, in character alone, is a lot to live up to, to be honest.

That's all I can think of, ATM.

I admire Carl Munck & his ilk.

Stan Lee. I've always liked his attitude, and how he has fun with life.

Jacque Fresco. I think the world needs more people who are willing to dream like him. Perhaps if there were more, the dreams would not remain dreams.

Carl Jung. While I may not agree with everything he wrote, I think he understood the human mind better than anyone before, or since.
