My greatest inspiration would have to be this fly that I knocked into my glass of milk when I was a young lad.  He was swimming and refused to drown, even though the milk was thick and hard to swim in.    Out of respect to the fly, I dumped the milk in the grass outside, and said a little prayer.

As a result of this experience, I now have a pet fly that I keep in a shoe box.  The fly doesn't eat much food.  But he has a home

I always admired the bravery of that fly.  I named him Freddie.  Freddie the fly.

I don't have one inspiration, I don't really believe in having a single main source of inspiration.  I get inspired from everyday people who I meet and read about, true everyday heroes.  Such as the American Jewish farmer who lived his entire life in a very meager state and then donated 15 million dollars close to his death to help build up agriculture in the Negev.  I get different inspirations from different types of people and then combine them together which gives me an idea of the type of person I should strive to be.

My father and grandmother were always big inspirations to me though.

Hey The Shadow, I wasn't responding to your post, I actually didn't read it before I posted. 

So, are you really the type of guy who "wouldn't hurt a fly"?   ;D

Zeev,

I might hurt a big, green horse fly, like the kind that land on you and bite you hard at the pool or on the beach.  But not my pride and joy house fly.
