What makes you admire someone?  Is it only because of their accomplishments and successes?  Or do you admire their resilience in the face of life's challenges?  Also, do you stop admiring someone if they disappoint you either in their choices or promises to you?

I admire people who can maintain their integrity regardless of who they have become.

I admire those who strive to be better. I admire those who despite what comes their way, they strive to make the best of it. I admire those who aren't afraid to take that leap of faith.

I admire those who can be honest and true all time and not afraid to stand by what they believe in regardless of what may.

I have to agree with the value of integrity. No matter how accomplished or powerful someone is, without integrity, I don't feel they deserve admiration.

I admire someone who will make personal sacrifices to keep a promise, who puts others ahead of himself, who has a strong sense of Christian values that he refuses to bend or break, and who thinks before he speaks.

I admire people who keep their spriit strong even while facing life's challenges. To me someone who is kind despite their situation (good bad or indifferent) is someone to be admired. There are so many mean spirited and ugly (on the inside) types of people. I gravitate towards people who are hopeful and strive to make things better regardless.

There are many things I admire in a person.


My first thoughts - just from being at excelle: I admire people who are openly and respectfully honest abt their opinions - whether it's popular or not. I admire people who can respond to an opinion they disagree with, with respect. I admire those who research things before forming an opinion (for example: political rumors).


I admire people who are friendly, kind, funny, inviting, trustworthy, unique, respectful, motivated, accomplished, confident, good w/ children, giving, understanding, listeners... I admire those, who, despite horrible abuse, can still find the strength (from both God and themselves) to rise above and/or help others. I admire good fathers and mothers, especially despite not having one or both as good role models for themselves. I admire mothers, daughters and sisters who are also close friends w/out misusing those roles. Lastly, I admire people who are highly intelligent - I wish I could get the things they get!!

I admire people who are big achievers and have all the reason's in the world to think no end of themselves but still are humble,simple people who  behave with equal compassion  with any fellow human being on this earth.

Nicely put Rasika !


I admire the virtues of honesty. I admire humility. I admire selflessness.


When I first meet people, I am hopeful that they are 'good' people overall- and am always happy  when I see first hand the wonderful sides of humanity.

Ditto,  didn't see any reason to rewrite this as it's everything I was already thinking when I saw the question. :)

I admire someone who draws no lines among people, who blends in well with all types of folks without being false about it.  People have all different sides about them, but many choose to not "lower" themselves to admit it and it's sad what they miss.  In every person there is something special and all you have to do is be open to getting to know someone to find it.

I admire honesty and integrity.  Tell me the truth no matter what you think I may say or do.  I might just surprise you.  I also admire my dad.  As kids he pounded this statement into our heads and I've never forgot.


Mean what you say and say what you mean.
