Richard Branson

He took on the big guys and succeeded and continues to try to make a difference. He puts himself out there. when you think of Virgin you think of Richard Branson. Name another company besides Microsoft where you think of the founder when thinking of a company.

DC Shoes
Metal Mulisha
Kentucky Fried Chicken
Victoria secret

Could probably think of more.

Such a nice guy too,

I always remember him on the Colbert Report, where Colbert (playfully) threw a cup of water over him, and he took it so welll!

My roomie and I always discuss how lovely Sir Richard Branson is.

DC Shoes
Metal Mulisha
Kentucky Fried Chicken
Victoria secret

Could probably think of more.

Think you took that way too literally

i also used to watch George Cann jnr do snake shows at la perouse and also watching John Cann doing shows gave me ionspiration about snakes.
But its a combination of the Cann bros and the stories of there father Georg cann snr,he was a crazy and skilled snake handler as i have witnessed on film,way crazier than any snake handler ever.

 

[Sock Puppet]

Fonzie, Vinnie Barbarino, Al Swearengen, Peter Griffin.

Also, Bruce Dickinson

Bruce is a real renaissance man, he fronts the greatest metal band of all time, flies commercial jets, is an accomplished fencer, & is a bit of a train spotter. Is there anything he can't do? \m/

Eddie Van Halen, Steve Via, Orianthi,Malcolm Douglas, Harry Buttler, David Attenborough, oh and not Steve Erwin

Yep, looking forward to seeing Van Halen with Diamond Dave later this year, & definitely agree with the others apart from Orianthi, who is unknown to me.

Diggers past and present, Police and nurses, Emergency services

Agreed!

 

[Southern_Forest_Drag]

My mum/Evan Tanner/GSP/Rise Against (band)

whenever i need motivation i look towards GSP worked his way up from poverty and overcame so many obstacles to be one of the best in his chosen sport

"my method is like a samurai they used to everyday work on their technique to make themself almost perfect, because perfection is impossible
but everyday we get closer to that perfection and thats what i want to do i want to everyday get better than i was the day before"

Evan Tanner is also an inspiration
"what is it that i can do not what is it you can do for me, but what is it i can do for you, quit worrying about yourself so much
and you will have everything to gain"

 

[Snakeluvver2]

Jean Baudin and a whole bunch of herpers who have looked after me.

 

[Fuscus]

Dawkins, Attenborough, Jay Gould, Butler to name but a few
And I've enjoyed St Nicks music since the Birthday party

 

[LizardLady]

I get my strength from Belinda Emmett, Olivia Newton-John, Shane Gould, Jane McGrath etc.

All these women faced massive adversity, some are still battling through it, yet still had/have the grace and inner fortitude to smile while helping others through the same adversity. Inspirational in anyone's book.

Best,
Carolyn

 

[AUSGECKO]

My missus inspires me, she is 33 years young and last year we had an ectopic pregnancy, a heart attack and a couple of cardiac arrests, because of all of this she now has a defibrillator/ pace maker implanted in her chest, lost her job and has a brain injury from lack of oxygen but she still manages to remain optimistic and keep a smile on her face.

My mum I guess, she grew up ridiculously poor, her mother didn't work and her dad was in WWII and suffered extreme post traumatic stress and drank a lot . . She had to sew all her own clothes and her family lived off rabbit stew from rabbits her father would shoot (she now hates casseroles lol - but I love them!!!).

Anyway she worked really hard at school put her self through med school and now is a successful Dr. and has been for the last 30 odd years . .

Steve Irwin, David Attenborough, and deffinately Jeff Corwin
