"Let me know" is a column for our readers' stories. Every week we launch a survey on a relevant topic and are waiting for your comments. This time you told us about your idols. Among them were famous musicians, scientists, athletes and public figures. We share the most interesting answers in this article.
1. «Elon Musk. He is not afraid to dream of more. Even about the conquest of space. Many people want to get only what has already been invented by mankind. And Elon is trying to expand our capabilities. It's unbelievable."
2. «Alexi Laiho. He influenced me a lot when I was learning heavy music. I was so fascinated by his game that I practiced all day long — I wanted to be the best in my style. And it has borne fruit for me in the future."
3. "Brad Pitt. I admire his images in the films "Fight Club" and "Troy". A real male. When I look at him, I have the energy to act and succeed."
4. «Vladimir Lenin. He admires me for his analytical mind, well-read, ability to draw the right conclusions and the ability to convince me that he is right."
5. "Tim Burton. The atmosphere of his films is always exciting! Each one evoked a response in me. The main characters are usually a little strange, and others do not always understand them. But no matter what, they continue to move forward and improve their lives."
6. "Dieter is ill. He impressed me with his determination, perseverance and perseverance — extremely necessary qualities that I was able to develop in myself later."
7. «Jony. He teaches you to be sincere and self-confident. In his songs, he honestly shares stories of his own ups and downs. And it also convinces: you need to believe in love."
8. "It's hard to list all the idols. As a child, of course, it was mother: energetic, cheerful, athletic, always smiling and reading a lot. It's nice to realize how much resemblance to her has manifested itself with age.
Also at school we had a wonderful teacher of Russian language and literature — with amazing endurance, strong character and a healthy sense of humor. I felt that she respected us, growing up people, so I wanted to reciprocate her feelings. Thanks to her, by the way, all my idols from the "big world" are writers.
Among them are Pushkin is number one. It seems to me that no one loved the whole world and man in particular so much. Dignity, temperament, scale of thought — all this is about Alexander Sergeevich."
9. «Eminem is a man who has made his way up, no matter what."
10. «My physics teacher is from the university. He always tried to convey the material in such a way that each of us understood it. He was immensely patient. And in those moments when another would most likely have put two and got angry, our physicist explained the topic once again and sorted out all the tasks. He was a very responsive person, always ready to help and do everything that depends on him. Yes, and with a great sense of humor! He taught me tolerance and kindness. It seems to me that we should keep a course for people like him."
11. «Maxim Trukhonovets is a worker, a record holder in two—handed exits. Thanks to him, I started doing sports hard."
12. «Arseny Popov is an actor of the show "Improvisation". He is very talented and elegant. He knows how to present himself to the audience and create a special interest around the performance. Inspires me by not being afraid to seem strange. He easily accepts his weaknesses, and I would like to learn this too — to remain myself, not to be afraid of obstacles and failures."
13. «Sergey Polunin. Since childhood, I have been interested in classical dance. For me, a ballet dancer is an incredible discipline, perseverance, efficiency, sensuality, respect for the physical. A few years ago, I came across the documentary Dancer about Sergei Polunin and immediately fell in love with this artist.
I can review his dance routines endlessly now. But the interview is not: I often feel Spanish shame. However, this is the case when a person is brilliant at what he does, not what he says. When I face difficulties, lose my will, get lazy — I remember Sergei and gather my strength.
He is also an example of determination for me. Quit the Royal Ballet in London at the peak of your career? Easy. To stuff Putin's chest? Whatever, I feel that way! All in all, he's cool."
14. «Monica Bellucci is a good actress, attractive, graceful and stylish woman. I think she is the standard of femininity and beauty."
15. "Justin Bieber is my idol. It was only thanks to him that I learned English, loving it as my native language. And all to move to America and see the singer in person! I would like to thank him for identifying my future profession and finding a goal that I have almost achieved.
I was also strongly supported by the band Skillet. At the moment when I got acquainted with their work, it was a difficult time — I was betrayed and abandoned. But when I heard one of the songs, I realized that no one is worth my tears and worries. I am strong and full of love. Thanks to Skillet, I found myself: I realized what I love, what hobbies I prefer, what kind of musical taste I have. Thank them for this and for the spiritual connection!"
16. «Gracie Rendon. I've been a fan of hers for 6 years now! She has a beautiful voice and a perfect appearance. Her songs, with deep meaning, motivate me a lot. Through them, I get valuable advice that makes life much easier. Listening to them, reading her posts, watching interview recordings, I have more than once managed to get out of depression and cheer myself up in moments of sadness. I am grateful to her for everything she has done for me and for many people."
