What impresses you most?

[abaris]

Short example of what I really admire. Where I live, we have quite a number of homeless punks. Pretty much all of them have at least one dog. One day in winter, it was really cold and snowing, I saw one of them, sitting at the entrance of a subway station. He had taken off his coat and draped it around his dog.

Things along these lines fill me with real admiration.

I can be impressed by many things, but I think it's important to make a distinction between admiration and being impressed - or even envious of some talent for that matter.
