Antediluvian Patriarch and Sumerian King, (In) Bad-tibira(k) En-men-lu-Anna(k), according to the records he lived to be over 43,200 years old, of which he spent at least that long ruling the ancient Sumerians. While I have little interest in ruling anyone but myself, I would sincerely enjoy having that much time to continue learning. If a rulership presents itself during that time, I might give it a try, if it is properly incentivized.
I am my own role mode... I want to be, well, me.
Always thought it was silly when people asked, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
I want to be me. Not someone else. shrugs
I would strive to be likeJane Goodall. I admire her kindness and respect for animals and nature. We have lost these kindnesses in our arrogance and belief that "man is the measure of all things" and that somehow we have divine dominion over Earth and it's animals (mostly believed to have been given to us from the bible). I wish we could get back to a place of reverence and respect for these things. These are the attributes I aspire to and try to embody in my everyday life.

What I really mean is what attributes in others do you admire when you get older, and who do you think best reflects that for you @virtualgrowth?

A good choice Kobie - she always strikes me as a kind person towards animals - I also like her anthropology work.
@mindhunter :-)
Are you sure about that? ;D
