WHO IS MY ROLE MODEL?

            

       Firstly, I would want you to know who a role model is.                According to the English Oxford Dictionary, a role model is defined as "a person who serves as an example ,whose behavior is emulated by others." With this definition, we can also say that a role model is someone that influences a  person's life especially, younger person.

         A role model can be a clergy, a friend, your parents, a celebrity etc, its just anybody whose success tends to motivate you in becoming a useful individual. 

        Growing up as a kid, I always admire rich people, and I keep telling myself that, I would be rich like them, but it doesn't just end at admiring them. I started making a research about their success story, I understood that you cannot wish to be rich and wealth would come. I followed the footprints of a man, and his life became a motivating factor in my life. That man is whom I call a ROLE MODEL. 

         In life experience, we have people that influence us positively and those that influence us negatively; same thing is applied in a role model.

POSITIVE ROLE MODEL: Someone whose  life serves as a footprint in achieving success.                                                            

NEGATIVE ROLE MODEL: Someone whose life add nothing to your life, but rather destroys you and makes you unsuccessful in life. 

         Now, is it compulsory to have a role model? 

No it's not, but it is very important to have one. 

Reasons :

*You must not  always learn from your mistakes, you learn from others mistakes. 

*You cannot always motivate yourself when you are down.        

                    CHOOSING A ROLE MODEL 

 

1.Choose a role model you know to help you become the best version of yourself. 

       A role model that you know can help you to mature and grow as a person. They can give guidance and advice and offer real world examples of how to achieve your best.

 

2.Consider someone who has a sense of purpose.                       

          A good role model would be someone who knows who they are. You don't want someone who seems perfect but doesn't have a sense of purpose. You want someone who won't pretend to be someone they are not.

 

3.Consider someone who interacts well with others.                 

         This person should be kind and can communicate well with people. People are easy to understand and emulate when they communicate well.

 

4.Choose someone who is different to you.                                   

          We are all tempted to choose a certain role model because we see something of ourselves in them. These role models will only hold you back because you are not really changing any characteristics of yourself, you are simply perfecting characteristics that are already there. Choose a role model because you see something in them that you are ‘’not’’ but definitely need to be. Emulating a role model who is not like you will not feel comfortable or natural but it will stretch you and motivate you to levels of yourself you thought you never knew.

5. Learn about their successes and failures.                                 

         It is important to learn about both the successes and failures of your role model. Sometimes learning about the failures of your role model can actually encourage and motivate you more than learning about their successes. By learning about their failures you realize that they, like you, are only human and will make mistakes. The important thing is to learn from them and keep working to improve yourself. For example, even famous scientists such as Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein struggled and failed many times in their lives but they kept working hard to achieve and eventually they were successful. By learning about their struggles you can motivate yourself to keep working hard even when nothing seems to be working. 

           

                   Know yourself, know your worth. 

With this I believe we can get the best role model, that would make us a better person tomorrow.
