Who's your hero? Your Inspiration? Someone who you really respect and why?

Personally i evny people who manage to go through life without apparently thinking, and everything drops in their lap as if by a miracle.

I'd love to be unaware of my surroundings or current events or the state of the world.I don't know how they do it, but i'd love to be able to have that type on brain and not worry about anything.

So come on, who do wish if you could wake up tomorrow and be in someone else's shoes, or a life similar to theirs.

This could say an awful lot about you grin

WOW.. tell you who I admire.. A lady I work with who is an Occupational therapist..

She comes to work with some of my clients.

The first time I met her she came to do some things with my client who has cancer and Alzheimer's.. (pretty advanced) which makes it very very hard to communicate with her.. get her to understand and get her to do anything.

I was staggered to find out that Sally (the Oc therapist) was totally deaf!

She was/is absolutely AMAZING at her job .. honestly.. better than I have ever seen an able bodied person with an Alzheimers client for a start.. She got the to do everything she wanted willingly.

It was amazing to watch!

She reminded me of a horse whisperer!..

I admire her enormously... To be in this kind of job.. missing an extremely useful (seemingly) needed 'sense'... thumbs up thumbs up

I have to say i would be impressed as well by the sounds of it.Sadly there are to many ambivalent medical people about, as i found out two weeks ago.

I don't know if its a numbers game to some or they dont realise they are dealing with a person and patient as opposed to getting through their shift and getting back home.

This has made me completely rethink my ideas on the bedside manner and how important it is.

To be honest i admire ordinary people who simple stop and give other people the time a day. Like a young woman i saw who had a toddler in hand who helped a old lady who's bag had broke with groceries. These are my hero's the people who help others with out expecting others. Baby sitters, people who shop for old folk,


Just simple things that mean a lot to ordinary people.

There are many people I admire. Those who come to mind immediately are Eleanor Roosevelt and Martin Luther King. For many reasons.
