Rolling Model

“Who is your Role Model?”
This question is usually posed by elders to kids, to know how he/she wants to become in future, what principles they think is right or wrong, to get a better preview of them.
So, the kids with glowing eyes and anxious smile reply the greats enlisted in the history books or the industrial giants of current affairs as taught by their parents, to get an impression that they are going to be incredible ones in the future society. What is the use of it? Gain admission in institutes? Score more marks? Or get respect and admiration from others? Your role model has to inspire you, not for others! It’s not needed that your role model must be a renowned one, but he has to bring effective change in you. Pearl forms from ordinary dew drops only!

Kids, naturally get inspired from living examples. Moreover these living examples also help them to overcome difficulties in flesh as a guide. No one is perfect to full extent. Each one poses a unique quality. When Draupadi asked for husband with five qualities righteous, strong, dexterous, modest and tolerant, Krishna endow her with five husbands namely Pancha Pandava! So, kids have to gather each quality from each person whom they see in their day to day life. I get inspired by the following persons for their unique quality.
Sacrifice – My mother
Modesty – My father
Devotion - Mr.Srinivasan (XII Math Tuition Teacher) towards his mother
Punctuality – Our Milkman and his wife
Jovial – X Class mate, Arul
Sincerity, Hard Work - XII Class Mates

So, the question arises, what am I for? I get respite from the quote I saw in one of the co-passenger's T-Shirt of MTC bus
“I am not totally useless; I can be used as a Bad Example”
