here are the answers my to the 3 questions
Who are you most inspired by? People who find different way of getting things done and do not let stress stand in there way
Who do you view as leaders? not sure about this one I guess anyone who is willing to take charge in a project
Who pushes you to be a harder worker in life? I push myself I'm always looking for interesting things to do and new projects to start
Who are you most inspired by? Vets who make it home from the war after being wounded and who overcome obstacles in merging back into civilian life - I much admire Vietnam Vets especially.
Who do you view as leaders? Usually those who have earned my respect by serving "in the trenches" so to speak with the little guy. In voting, I often go for a someone with combat experience, where possible.
Who pushes you to be a harder worker in life? Probably my mother. She does it all. Hard worker, matriarch of her family line, worked hard all her life and raised two kids on her own.
Who do you view as leaders? I look at some teachers as leaders.. the ones that are really really into teaching..and put their students futures first
Who pushes you to be a harder worker in life? I would say my kids... because they are the reason I want to go back to school. To give them a better life!
Golda Meir is a biggie. I admire her strength, her courage, and her grandmotherly softness.
Who do you view as leaders?
Obama is proving to be a leader, in my opinoin. Other leaders (all current) I admire: Hillary Clinton, Shimon Peres, Jimmy Carter
Who pushes you to be a harder worker in life?
Having a goal just a bit beyond "normal" reach.
ha ha
There are so many people. I'm inspired by people who create opportunities. I'm inspired by people who step out of themselves and contribute positive to the world. I'm ispired by strong women and men. I'm inspired by people who aren't afraid to stand up for what is right. I'm inspired by . . .
Who do you view as leaders? Our President for sure
Who pushes you to be a harder worker in life? My mom did (i miss her)
People who step up and do the right thing. This includes both of my parents, my daughters, my husband, friends, Jimmy Carter, Oprah, Mother Theresa . . .
Who do you view as leaders? Any person in my life who has made a difference.
Who pushes you to be a harder worker in life? My children. They tend to see my potentials more than I do LOL.
My parents and my children. My parents have hit many hardships and still keep popping up! My daughters are always so pleased when I have a success. My son-in-law always makes a point to ask about my writing so I'm inspired to have something to tell him. My husband, told me I could write plays by myself and my writing friends are always there to encourage me.
Great questions.
I agree with a lot of answers already. The first two women I was inspired by and thought of as the type of leader I wanted to be when I was a woman were Mother Teresa and Princess Diana. I respected that they gave so much of themselves to make the world a more peaceful and loving place. I read their quotes whenever I need inspiration and to remind myself that I can do something to improve my community.
* Who are you most inspired by?
That would be my husband. We have always talked everything out, bounced ideas off each other (even the conflicting ones), and if anyone can inspire me to make changes or do something, it would be him.
* Who do you view as leaders?
To me, leaders are the people who receive respect because they have earned it. It's the people who march to their own drummer, but have the intelligence to make the rest understand why they believe as they do. I will add, that there are few people that I have either met or seen through the media that meet this criteria in my lifetime.
* Who pushes you to be a harder worker in life?
That would be my son. It might be strong maternal instinct, but I will move heaven and earth to meet his needs and desires (within reason) as I teach him to become the individual, strong, self assured man that he will need to become.
Who do you view as leaders? Leaders do not operate in safe comfortable zones of space, but go beyond to reach out to others in need, meeting the needy in their space. Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter are leaders. Doctors without Borders are leaders. Girl Scout leaders are leaders.
Who pushes you to be a harder worker in life? My parents still push me by their example of continuing hard work and positivity. I'm 46, they're over a quarter of a century older than that.
Here's the answers to the questions
Who are you most inspired by?
My mother and grandmother. My grandmother was bedridden her entire life yet she managed to raise a family of 12 children and run and entire household. She had faith that could move a mountain and always accomplish everything she set her mind to. My mother although not bedridden is much the same way - both of these ladies have inspired me my entire life and if I could be even a little like them I'd be proud!
Who do you view as leaders?
This is a tough one - something that I"d have to ponder a little.
Who pushes you to be a harder worker in life?
Myself and my family - everything I do is for the benefit of those I love so they keep me going.
I just had to pop back in to say that - ha ha
I almost forgot about this chat
