It is always easy to GIVE EXAMPLES but it is always DIFFICULT TO BECOME AN EXAMPLE .

Role models are people who influence others by serving as examples. They are often admired by the people who emulate therm. Through their perceived personal qualities, behaviours and achievements they can inspire others to strive and develop without providing any direct instruction. Being positive role model actually requires effort, fore-thought and self-control. Because people are watching you all the time, your actions, believes and attitudes become integrated into other people’s lives. People tend to unconsciously imitate and take on the traits of others over a period of time, therefore, always be mindful of how you act and behave. Being aware of this huge responsibility can encourage you to better yourself.

Everyone has the capacity to become a role model. You may already play that role for someone and not even know it. You don’t have to be famous, brilliant or a genius to be a role model for others. Simple thing like being a good listener is good enough at times. Help others to recognize their strengths, show kindness and be an encouraging person. When you see something beautiful in someone, tell them. It may take a second to say but for them it may last a lifetime.

BECOME AN EXAMPLE!
