Growing up I tended to admire athletes, musical artist and TV stars. Yet the older I get the more I look up to people in the Bible, my parents, hard working parents, and people who try to make a positive difference in this world and in people's lives. Now, I still have admiration for some athletes, singers and actors such as India Arie, Sade, Kirk Franklin, Denezel Washington, Tyler Perry, and etc in part because of their positive work, the struggles that they endured and the faith I believe they have. Yet, I’ve learned that one should be careful who he/she chooses to admire. Although everyone is flawed, what you may think of some people may not necessary be true.
I remember when Oprah came out with a show I believe entitled the Big Give. I was excited. Oprah decided to try to reward those that did for others. She often seemed to have shows to help people and this world. I admired that! I still do. Never the less, look at the following link:

Seeing that clip shocked me. I'm not judge or jury, but I strongly disagree with some of the things Oprah was saying and it sparked my thoughts of being careful who I look up to.
I am wanting to get your thoughts on this and also some people who you admire in your life and why.
