A famous historical people who I aspire to be like and have all those characteristics I admire are Genghis Khan, Gandhi, Einstein, Abraham Lincoln, Napoleon, Winston Churchill, Martin Luther King Jr., Terry Fox, The Wright Brothers, and Galileo Galilei.
Genghis Khan - was the founder, Khan (ruler) and Khagan (emperor) of the Mongol Empire, which became the largest contiguous empire in history after his death. He came to power by uniting many of the nomadic tribes of northeast Asia. After founding the Mongol Empire and being proclaimed "Genghis Khan", he started the Mongol invasions that would ultimately result in the conquest of most of Eurasia. I admire his leadership and the determined characteristic, because he was a such great influential leader where all Mongolian took him as their leader.
Gandhi - was a pre-eminent political and ideological leader of India during the Indian independence movement. He pioneered satyagraha. This is defined as resistance to tyranny through mass civil resistance- a term which Gandhi used in many of his statements and writings. I admire his characteristic of non-violence and great leadership, because he has influenced the world with his great use of satyagraha, non-violence to resist tyranny.
Einstein - was a German-born theoretical physicist who discovered the theory of general relativity, effecting a revolution in physics. For this achievement, Einstein is often regarded as the father of modern physics. I admire Einstein's perseverance, and his confident, because he never gave up even when he failed and had discovered many brilliant theories.
Abraham Lincoln - was the 16th President of the United States, serving from March 1861 until his assassination. He successfully led the country through a great constitutional, military and moral crisis—the American Civil War—preserving the Union while ending slavery and promoting economic modernization. I admire his leadership and dependable characteristic, because he was such a great leader who led the whole US throughout years of difficult times.
Napoleon - was a military and political leader during the latter stages of the French Revolution. I admire his leadership and his intelligence, because his battle tactics and the way he kept his men in control, influenced me a lot.
Winston Churchill - was a British politician and statesman known for his leadership of the United Kingdom during the Second World War. He is widely regarded as one of the great wartime leaders. I admire his determined character, and his leadership, because he has succeed in protecting UK during WW2.
Martin Luther King Jr. - was an American clergyman, activist, and prominent leader in the African American civil rights movement. He is best known for being an iconic figure in the advancement of civil rights in the United States and around the world, using nonviolent methods following the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi. King is often presented as a heroic leader in the history of modern American liberalism. I admire his leadership and his characteristic of dependable, because from his great speech, "I had a dream," it influenced not only US, but the world.
Terry Fox - was a Canadian humanitarian, athlete, and cancer research activist. In 1980, with one leg having been amputated, he embarked on a cross-Canada run to raise money and awareness for cancer research. I admire his perseverance and his integrity, because he had raise unbelievable amount of money even risking his own health.
The Wright Brothers - were two Americans credited with inventing and building the world's first successful airplane and making the first controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight, on December 17, 1903. In the two years afterward, the brothers developed their flying machine into the first practical fixed-wing aircraft. Although not the first to build and fly experimental aircraft, the Wright brothers were the first to invent aircraft controls that made fixed-wing powered flight possible. I admire the brothers perseverance, because even if they failed the first air plane, they continuously tried again and end up inventing an aircraft.
Galileo Galilei - was an Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer and philosopher who played a major role in the Scientific Revolution. His achievements include improvements to the telescope and consequent astronomical observations, and support for Copernicanism. I admire his perseverance and self-confident, because he had stand up for himself when everyone else said that Sun orbit around the Earth.
