William F. Buckley, Jr.

Buckley was a very intelligent and respected man who had a great impact on many people. "He inspired and incited three generations of conservatives, and counting. He retained his intellectual and literary vitality to the end." Buckley had a passion for debating and was a tough competitor on "Firing Line". He was very honest and spoke his mind no matter what but did it in a respectful, classy manner as well. He was also very devoted to his family and his Church before he became a conservative.
I think he would be just fine competing in today's 24/7 wworld. He stood up for what he believed in and did not let anyone get in his way. Although some people might attack his views in today's world, he would not let that bother him.
Everything that I wrote above about him I could learn to use in my own career- to be a passsionate debator and stick up for what I believe in and just to believe in myself and my work to help impact others.
