My biggest inspiration comes from the famous people that not only give to charities but involve themselves in it.
Example: Edward Norton.
Not only does he run regularly in marathons to raise money but he's a Member of the board of trustee's for Enterprise Community Partners, a non profit organization for developing affordable housing (which was founded by his grandfather.). Raises money for Crowdrise, a social networking community for volunteers. Known for his support for environmental causes and renewable energy projects such ad Enterprises Green Communities Initiative. He volunteers time and money towards social activist causes, including improving the quality of living in low income communities.
He was designated as the UN Goodwill Ambassador for biodiversity and president of the American Branch of the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust. Not to mention he played soccer along side Woody Harrelson to match money for a charity event.

I love how low key he is. He does more for charities than he does movies. Him as an actor is more like his second job. Absolutely adore him. He's one of my biggest inspirations.

My brother-in-law would be one person. Hes done just about everything, hes been an engineer for the atomic bomb tests in the Pacific, hes a licenced electrician, hes licenced for hazardous waste cleanup, hes an expert on computers, hes been a teacher, dealt in real estate, he had some kind of a construction business in Viet Nam, He writes books on Mormon history, He had a business scrapping ships in San Francisco, he can speak several languages including ancient Aztec, plus hes an auto mechanic. That is what I would call a well-rounded life. If I could do a tenth of the things he has done I would be happy.
