Does one need a role model?

If one should have a role model is the question for the ages. The answer differs from person to person. However, if you should have one is something that can be examined more easily than in general. What one can definitively say is this. If you are not satisfied how things are going, or if you cant tell why things are not going the way you intend to go, then you must be doing something wrong. In fact if you are doing everything right, that by itself maybe a wrong thing to do. But how to find out if what you are doing is wrong or not? One is comparing your life with someone you admire and wish well. A friend? A Businessman? An Actor? A Comic? Superman? It is important to pick who you want to be like. Most people do that when they are really young. Some do it a bit later in life. Some may never do it. Because they themselves are role models to others.

Everyone craves to be unique. However, not everyone realizes, we are unique by name and SSNs, but mostly we have very ordinary lives. There are things about us that make us unique, but as a whole, our uniqueness is fairly limited, one can say, quite average. So why hold on to this delusion and be unhappy?

Instead consider having a role model. Someone who you admire. Someone worthy. Someone who is intelligent, has the smarts and has respect for people and situation around him. Start to emulate. WWJD? Is a very important question one could ask himself. But who you wish to be the 'J' in WWJD is up to you.
