Role Models

I have no role model and I never had. Also never had a hero or was a fan of anyone. Most people lie, I already noticed that as I was a very young kid and I can't stand liars. Why should I take liars and cheaters (most succesful people in this world) and abusers as a role model? Also the kind of roles some people (models, actors etc) have are not fitting in my picture of how a role model should be. I think if there would be any role model at all it probably would be: Mr. Monk, Mr Bean and Dr House. Why? Because they are who they are, unique, honest and theirself.

hello, Nice question, My only role model is my mother. She is a single mom with has a 3 children including me without father. She continue supporting us and now that I am graduating into college I was really happy that she made it through. She really help us to grow and learned by ourselves. She make us realize that we can still continue without our father and she stand as a mother and father to us which really help us not to look for a father. I love my mom!

I can think of many great people that I would consider role models and I don't have to look that hard at all. To me, a good role model is someone who is kind to others and are passionate. My friend Tyler is a good role model because he doesn't really judge people; he knows how to have fun and still take care of responsibilities; and he still has hope and passion despite the adversities that he has had to face in his life. Some other role models, that aren't really "in my life", but still good ones nonetheless, include Eckhart Tolle, Philip "Pacman" Chbeeb, Amy Goodman, Bliss n Eso, Shpongle, Ott, Twiztid, and ICP. Eckhart Tolle is a spiritual teacher and author. He wants to help people and I love to hear him talk because he sometimes giggles. Philip Chbeeb is a dancer. He has been on "So you think you can dance", but I knew about him a while before then. (Yup, had to say it. lol) He is doing what he loves and I would wager that he is just a fun person to hang out with. Amy Goodman is the news anchor for Democracy Now, which is a donation-based news network that doesn't accept any sort of corporate funding. I like her because I can tell that she really is passionate about what she is doing. The truth is important to her, as it is with me, and she actually knows about the topics she is reporting. She is a hard worker. The rest are bands whose art has inspired me, captivated me, taught me things, helped me through some hard times, and completed the party atmosphere. There are many, many more, but I guess that I can't list them all. :)

A good role model believes in you. Will not give up on you! They give you good critizm and advice. You get respect and give it back! They give you help when you need it! They are there when they need them! My role model has and is my best friend. He is the best role model I person could have!

I don't really have a role model. But if I have to choose, it'd be someone who can hold their ground and have confidence in what they're saying. I tend to lack that.

Firstly i want to say i love your discussion. For me to have a role model i first need to know that the person makes mistakes just like everyone else and i don't expect her to be perfect just because she's my role model. But also my role model should be someone who gives inspiring speeches and has a good reputation. Someone who is basically humble.

gee I can't think of any good role models these days, I see sports people acting very bad and other celebrities being just as bad, I think kids must find it hard working out what is a good way to live their lives with the example being shown. When I was growing up there were heeps of role models even on the TV shows, the good always won and the bad always lost...not today.

The problem with role models is we, the public expect them to be free of common human faults. This is never the case, a good role model is one who excels in some area of life, it is totally unfair to expect them to excel in all areas. But we still tend to throw the baby out with the bath water when we find a human fault goes along with all that excellence.

The main role model that I've had in my life is my mother. The reason that she is my role model is because of the fact that she showed me everything that I needed to know about being a mother while I was growing up. Once I was a little bit older, I also learned from her how to be a strong woman. She has never been a person that judges, but instead she has been someone that will offer advice when we need it from her.

Hi, My dad is my role model. He was such an intelligent and hard working man. He designs and makes his own speakers to be connected with the record player - some sort like the yesteryears compact disc player. He was always there when I needed him. Always ever so willing to help me in whatever way he can. During his years he had helped a lot of people when it comes to education. I have heard some of my relatives saying that it was really foolish of him for not leaving any fortune behind for me and my family but it doesn't matter at all. All I know, he's the most successful and fine man that have touched my life.

I think that it's not impossible to find a role model, but it is more difficult. I think that for the most of time, we know way too much about a lot of potential role models and they are not the most savory things about them. So there are a lot of times where you're not going to find many people doing the right thing, even if it is not the easy thing. I think that mostly my parents still fulfill that role. They are about the sanest people that I know and the one's that I trust the most. Granted, that's not saying much but still. I think that there are just a lot of childhood heroes from other walks of life that are becoming less heroic as I find out more about them. Moral of the story is never try and learn too much about your role models, you might find out more than you want. At least parents are a stable force, mostly.

For me, every person who is good in his activity can be a role model, with the condition to remain a humble and honest human being. If a person is very good in his activity, but acts like a god or a super human, has no value in front of me and I won't choose him as a role model. My role models are usually football players, who have had great attitude on the field and showed me that everything is possible with hard work and self confidence, but not this cocky attitude.

A good role model is usually someone from your own life. Mine is my mother- a single mother who brought up 3 boys!
