What makes you admire a person?

Aside from the physical beauty that you can admire a person, what is/are the quality of the person that can make you admire the most? Mine would be the person's intelligence and the way he or she speaks. I can tell that the person is non-sense or not by the way the act and talk. Just by talking with the person, you would be able to distinguish how he or she perceives his/her life. :) I also admire people with much confidence within them. However, if it's already over confidence, that's what I don't like anymore. :) How about you? :)

well i would first look for confidence in a person then kindness, ability to understand others well, not very judgemental, able to handle tough situations, is pleasant and polite. is obliging and lively. one who can immediately light up any room , give spark to any conversation. is bright and friendly. i would admire any person who has atleast 4 of these qualities. well to tell the truth i really admire my mother cause she has almost all of these qualities.

I don't usually go for physical appearances, but of course I admire those who are gifted from that aspect. But personality counts for me, give me 5 minutes of your time and I'll tell you if you are worth talking with.=)I like a person's confidence, the way he/she manages small talks or little disturbances; the way that person exudes charm and wit that you don't usually find everyday. A sense of humor really get me, and yes, a bright smile would always win me over. I admire those with dreams and aspirations in life and doing all they can to achieve it, in a good way of course. And at the end of the day, a generous and loving heart will never go wrong. =)

There are so myriad of characteristics that we can find to admire a person. Beauty lies not solely in physical attributes. I'm easily get attracted to beautiful faces but when I personally known that persons, I am more admire the inner self she has inside. Humility is on top of my list, its really annoying when somebody act like she/he is someone just because of good looks she/he posses. Humble person usually easy to get along and open minded for everything. Thats character makes a good harmony along with family, friends, and accquintaces.

aside from the usual admiration, i admire people with good sense of humor. someone that can laugh in public and won't really care and someone who can make my sides hurt from laughing.
