Who inspires you?

In our lives (first, second, third, whatever) we all have people who inspire us, role models, people with qualities we try to emulate in our lives. Some of them are people in books, some of them characters in films, religious saints, actors, actresses, television personalities, friends, family, teachers, students.

People real, virtual or purely imaginary. Some people ask themselves, "What would Captain Kirk do?"

Who is the person in Second Life who inspires you? Or who has some quality that you try to emulate? Who is it, and what is it about them? Is it your partner? A friend? A rival? More than one person and more than one quality, perhaps?

Who in Second Life has got that special something that you strive to have too, or who brings out the best in you, and what is it?
