When I travelled Myanmar many moons ago I met a catholic priest. He was in his 70s and worked 20 hours a day running an orphanage with zero funding from his church or government. I am not a man of religion, but that priest was the most impressive person I ever met. The way he kept his kindness and content despite all the poverty and suffering surrounding him gave me a new perspective.
I'm rather short. So I'd say: most people
I am admiring and looking up to your wit
I'll answer this question honestly, but I'll first misinterpret the question.
I'll change it to the person I most appreciated in life.
That person was my 6th grade teacher. She was a former catholic nun turned atheist. She was 70 years old when I had her as my teacher. She was quick with a ruler and quick with a lesson. She never actually hit any kid, but my lord, when she thwacked that long ass ruler on a table, we all paid attention. Critical thinking was her passion, emphasis on science and facts over rhetoric were her bywords.
I didn't look up to her, I didn't want to be her. But her lessons were paramount in shaping my life from thence to this.
Ms. Wrech, I still remember you.
Robin Williams. Hewas an actor that helped make my childhood more bearable. With amazing movies full of wit and humor. I don't have for a habit to care about strangers or celebrities but the day I learned he killed himself my world became a shade darker. And knowing he struggled in life like he did made him more relatable than ever.

My grampa wez, he built his house, and owned his own modest construction company, collected vintage sports cars (jag- e type) and bikes, and had an avery full of song birds as well as a beautiful garden and some farm animals, geese, goat's and pigs.
He ate healthy, lived actively, had an unfettered love for my grandmother (she is a character too) wez died young, early 60s.
Everyone disappoints in the end. I try to avoid looking up to people. Easier than dealing with the disappointment of realizing they're flawed humans just like I am, just like everyone else is.
I suppose. We are all just human though, and no one's perfect all the time. i think that's what makes those little good deeds noticable. The fact that we are flawed and some of us manage to be good people a majority of the time
I am no-frills for a lack of a better word when it comes to who I look up to, the five people being my second-oldest sibling, my grandfather, a couple of friends, and an author from another locality whose works I like. The last one is special to me though, I'm a VIP in her social circles and it's the gift that keeps on giving.
My father. He's just a fine dude. Does a lot of things right, is never angry at anybody for too long, and just generally understands what's important in life and why.
