The Role Model of my Heart

To me a role model is someone you have watched overtime, admired their way of carrying out responsibilities, seen their results and you wish to copy or be like them. They are people who have done something significant and you would want to get that same result. Someone who pushes you to bring out your best through his/her actions. An inspiration to their world. That is who a role model is.
Many people have role models from different fields, different areas of life. Some people have role models from the music industry, some, in the business world, some, some are spiritual father's, some, from the academia, some, go for athletes or activists while some take their role models from their own family or friend or teacher. People are unique and different and with their differences comes their diverse ways of thinking

No, not necessarily. There are people who get inspired from many other sources, for example from a book, or wordings of a song. Some even draw inspiration from things they have gone through personally.
Although, some people do not have role models, it is very beneficial to have one. They could make you push yourself and give you hope at your lowest moment.

Personally, I have a role model. His name is Ben Carson. Some people might know him, some will not, so let me introduce him shortly. He is a retired world-renowned Neuro surgeon who is widely know for the separation of the Siamese twins( the babies joint at the head). He is also the author of "Think Big" and "Gifted Hands". And it was from his book "Gifted Hands" I got to know him, I read his story and instantly I was moved because in that story, I saw a version of me reflected. It's amazing how people go from nothing to something really.

Well, over the years Ben Carson had diverted into politics which I don't really follow. But as at last week, I looked up some of his quotes and I must say, he is a man on a mission to change his world and his determination is admirable.

Everytime I feel like am not good enough, I remember my role model and I tell myself, If he could do it, then I can do it too. Going into the medical field isn't really easy and knowing that there was someone who came from not knowing a thing at a young age to being one of the best in Medicine. It's one of the biggest pushes I need. There's no limit to what you can do if you put your mind to it. And above all, never leave God out of the picture. The importance of God in a humans life cannot be over emphasized. These are the things I learnt from my role model. If you have read the book, you will know what I am talking about.
