Having role models such as a teacher and my parents did enhance my personality and helped me to hopefully make good and positive choices throughout my life.

ChesneyChrist: Better to be overwhelmed by admiration than consumed by envy. An important part of adult humanity is accepting and respecting the qualities of others, on a planet of 7 billion is there honestly no one to look up to? You've been spending too much time here on CS and if you spend your life looking down on everyone, down is the direction your life will take.
Do u really believe that
U know everything ?
People drag u down with them, like this is a prime example, what u wrote here.

I had none.
U find them interesting at first and then they proved u wrong.
Yes is the answer. A role model may be the difference between dying of a heroin overdose or being the first man on Mars. Role models are the difference between a civilisation of debt and decay or one of freedom and wealth. One of the greatest problems of the modern day is that there aren't enough role models, the people who should be role models look up to reality TV stars like Donald Trump or clowns like Boris Johnson.
Perhaps the greatest problem of all is that the older generation's role model can be a hideous orangutan or a malevolent baked alaska - you can tell this is the same age group which threw the greatest generation in the bin, these people are the least amongst us and(because)they worship the least amongst us.

U r the only one believing this crap u just wrote.
Keep on. Good for ur flexibility of fingers and the grey cells manufacturing faeryland over and over again.
Speaking of roll models.If my two sons father and I hadn't been role models by not leading them by example I would dread to think what kind of adults they would had turned out to be like.
Quick tip for men - if you're ever chatting up a woman and there's another man there more attractive and successful than you are, DON'T try to belittle him. Don't assume that your chances are ruined because somebody else is better than you; any person consumed by envy and fear will attack and belittle a superior rival and this shows you to be inferior in the most massive way possible. A far finer thing it is to compliment this man as tho he threatens you not one bit.

someone u look up to as an example for ur lifestyle ?
I have never looked up to anyone !
Everyone r their own person, not a copy of another person
(or) have I the cat by the tail ?
Why do U look up to people ?
To try to be like them, by copying their ways ?
R u not happy with urself ?
It has nothing to do with perfectionism, or ego, u r just U,
and superficially u can change but not inherently !!!
