Role Models by Bob Proctor

Some time ago I did a radio show on envy, where I quoted Emerson’s essay on self reliance.

Emerson wrote that envy was ignorance. He followed that up by saying imitation was suicide. He was correct – our various patterns of thought cause us to differ one from another. To try to be like someone else is a fool’s game, although, I am sure you have caught yourself saying I wish I was like him or her. I suppose that type of imitation is something we all are guilty of at one time or another. No, we cannot be like someone else, nor should we try.

The beautiful truth is that anyone who has a sincere desire to improve their performance in any area of life could use role models as an excellent working tool. I have presently improved my ability to manage my time, speak in public, and sell, as well as a number of other areas, by adopting the personality traits or characteristics of successful men and women I admire.

If you would like to improve the quality of your life, and I am sure you do, look around for a few role models. You can have as many as you choose.

Study their attitudes and behaviors closely. Adopt whatever characteristics you believe would be beneficial to you. Discipline yourself to turn those positive personality traits you admire in others into habits of your own. You will not only become a bigger winner, you will serve as a great role model for others.
