Most Admired
Gallup recently announced its list of the most admired man and woman in 2005. Here is the list of the men in ranked order:
- George W. Bush
- Bill Clinton
- Jimmy Carter
- Pope Benedict XVI
- Bill Gates
- Rev. Billy Graham
- Nelson Mandela
- Colin Powell
- Dalai Lama
- John McCain
- Bono
- Tony Blair
- Gordon B. Hinckley
- George H.W. Bush
- John Kerry
- Rudolph Giuliani
- John Edwards
- Mel Gibson
- Arnold Schwarzenegger
- Donald Trump
- Kofi Annan
- Pope John Paul II
- Ronald Reagan
Now granted, it is not easy to think about the people that you admire most. I thought about it for a while and invariably I kept thinking about the people who have had a significant and positive impact on my life: my wife, my children, teachers, pastors, friends. And then I thought about the people who have had a significant and positive impact on a broader scale.
For some odd reason, the Terminator and the Donald did not make my list.
