Role models are a good thing to have, because they can inspire us to aim for goals and achieve ambitions which we think are beyond ourselves. That goal or ambition might be to gain a higher degree, to learn to be an airline pilot or even to become a world class DJ.
Most of us have role models whom we admire. The reasons why they are our role models can be different, but the admiration they inspire, what they represent to us, is what attracts us. They have a quality, attitude or ability, that we wish we had ourselves, and they inspire us to reach beyond ourselves. It’s good to have these dreams and ambitions and to have people who inspire you to go for it!

Who’s your role model? You know, this always starts at the kindergarten. The teachers ask little students who their role model is. Most of them say police officer, fire fighter, or some cartoon characters, mostly heroic people. When I was in kindergarten, I never answered for that question. I had nothing on my mind to answer. Who is my role model? I really don’t think I’ve had any role models until recently, so I questioned myself again and again and again, and I have waited for a real role model…
It never came…
Now, I would say that my parents are my role models. And I’m not saying that because I’m like them, or I want to live like them, but because they are my parents, and they are responsible for me being what I am today. I have so much feeling toward them as they start to gray and the little kinks start to come out, bad joints, fatigue, simple things that you wish wouldn’t happen…
Role models are one of the key ingredients for a successful life. Do you have a role model?
