I don't know if I have an idol.  I got a lot of respect for people who hold there own

Muhammad Ali for instance came to the top of his game struggled against racism and still won.

I gotta say I'm my own idol though, because I believe in myself more than anything

good point. people should be sure of theirselves and be their own idols

Or at least someone that did something of Merit.  It's all well & good having Bitchney Speared or Dr Dread as your idol but have they actually done anything really?

I tottally agree. I strongly admire somebody but I don't have idols. To have an idol is to like worship/praise.

But I admire Shigeru Miyamato. He brought an entire revolution to gameing.  He practiclly invented the Adventure genre of gaming. He took his child hood imaginations and created such wonderful games. Super Mario Brothers , The Legend of Zelda , Metriod  series where all of his makings.

My computer is my idol! ...oh wait, that says my system IS idol......

I have to say my idol is Bill gates....started out as a geeky, nerdy normal person and ended up being an even geekier and nerdier billionaire!

Well at least the money part of it...not the geeky nerdy part

i'd love to start my own computer company like bill gates, but the reason he's not my idol is simply because of his nerdy side and because lots of people don't like MS... it was proven that microsoft office contains spyware (well, logs your IP address)!

My idol is Myself
Or should I say, my destiny.

(lhunath = destiny)

Idols are for people who cannot be themselves, as long as you have idols, you won't feel good. It's okai to look around you to the people in this world and look for things that are better than you are, because there always will be, but you should try and improve those things within yourself, if not, you will never feel comfortable with yourself.
And call me an egocentric person, I don't really care, all I know is, we all are in a way, and to be honest. It is not an insult to be called one.
