Most inspirational person I know:

My parents and my wife

Why:

My parents; as they sacrificed to make sure they gave me everything I needed to succeed in life. That type of sacrifice is inspirational and taught me the meaning of family. That is where I got my positive outlook on life from.

My wife; for her work in the ICU ward in the General Hospital. She sees people when they are suffering and at their worst and yet keeps her positive and loving attitude.
