Wednesday's getting to know NPer's Q

[SharonTucci]

Hope people are enjoying these and getting to learn more about their fellow NPers!

Today's q is about heros...... what individual has had the biggest single impression on your life? It doesn't need to be someone you personally know. But just someone - living or dead - that has left an imprint of some kind on your life.

My answer: When I was in my early 20's, I met a really great man. I worked with him on writing out his memoirs for his grandchildren to have. This was over a period of about 2 years. This man was a German Jew and had been in a Nazi concentration camp. Escaped and then went back to rescue his future wife and her mother. Ended up settling in Canada. This man was remarkable not just for that but that he came to a new country, not speaking the language and ended up building a very successful business, getting involved in politics and was supportive in the community in general. He showed me what drive, determination and what wanting the best life for your family and loved ones can do. Sure we all HEAR of stories like this but to actually get so immersed in the trials and tribulations one man went through to get to where he ended up was truly amazing and inspiring for me. (He passed away several years ago.)

My own dad is probably ahead of him as far as impact goes but talking about my dad is a little more cliche :hehe:

Anyone else want to share?

My family is my hero...They are always here for me

 

[Mike]

From a professional and innovative perspective:
Sir Richard Branson (Virgin),Dietrich Matteschitz (Red Bull) and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

From a selfless perspective: The troops that are deployed to fight for one man's crazy idea that a war has a winner.

Of course, my folks; My father is beyond admirable.

Well, then there's always: Superman, Spongebob....

I would have to say have to say: Dale Earnhardt Sr.

Knowing Dales whole biography, He inspired me at a young age, He was known as the Intimidator in Nascar racing , It wasn't his will to win, Near as much as it, Wasn't his will to lose, And that was any thing Dale did in his life. He was a fair man, very ethically sound, But in what ever he did, He had a drive in him, and motivation, to be the best at what ever it was he did, and the majority of the time, He succeeded. Many drivers thought he was a crook on the race track, Not true, Dale did what he had to do, If a driver that was slower, wouldn't move, Dale would give him a bump, and move him.

So it is much like the reality of life, Imo , To succeeded it is necessary to move people slower than you, Out of your way, Retain your ethics, and strive be the best at what you do.

My biggest hero is : God and Jesus Christ


In Domaining: You .. Ms.Sharon Tucci You have been a wonderful friend, You have taught me so much about this business, That is priceless. You have been my biggest inspiration in domaining..No doubt about it. So has Jennifer here at NamePros, You are both TOP domainers, and fantastic ladies.

My greatest inspiration would have to be my boss here at Trex Technologies. He isn't only a boss, but a friend as well. He has faced more hardships in his life than anyone I know, and is still persistent, courageous, and strong willed in every way.

I'd have to say my mum. My parents separated permanently and my mum took all 5 of us and without asking my dad for alimony or anything like that she brought us up to be the wonderful people we are.
