    Hello Girls,
    I feel it is essential to have a role model(s) whom we look up to .So lets discuss, who our role models are and what qualities you admire in them ? How they have inspired you.

    I will start : My role model is my father. He always believed boy and girl child are equal. Education is very important in shaping who we are. He was the first to graduate in my entire family amidst humble beginnings. He is strong and always supportive. He has never forced me to do something, supported my choices in every step of my life. My husband is also my role model. He is curious for knowledge, reading and updating himself. Loving and caring. They believe in doing what makes them happy :)

    For me, I have umpteen amount of role models. It's about specific thing about each one that I try to learn n better myself.

    For example,
    the value of family n humility from mom,
    strength n knowledge from dad,
    how to be love birds even when old n gray from grandparents,
    true love, health, self happiness, mutual love n respect from hubby,
    Style from a friend,
    Fitness from a friend
    Some skills from few different people
    My passion for food from the domestic goddess,
    My love for fashion from a fashionista

    This is just an example. Similarly I have many who has taught me the value of money, business, education, knowledge, love, morality, compassion, patience, humour, spontaneity, etc. Like this, I can keep naming each one that has contributed to my life n still contributes in making me a better person every day in different angles.

    N it's not just the positive things, I also learn from the negative.

    I look at my h for almost everything. He knows atleast little about every least known topic and I always feel that he has all of my answers. But even if he is not able to solve my issues I get positive energy to look into the matter and if sometimes he irritate me with his reply I decide to be more strong and find my own way.:)

    My role models and role super-models are creatures who don't even know of my existence. If they did, they would not sense that I think high of them. If they did that too, still they would have no clue of this removed mention about them in a provincial forum. I am a sideline admirer of their fiendish articulation and brutal smarts and savage rationality.

    I am part of a silly kabootar group who converse about ontological dilemmas and incompleteness theorems.

    While we kabootars only flutter in our rhetoric sayings and thoughts, once a while, the more impressive voices outshine and those voices (eagerly await to hear) are my role-models. One day, some day, I wish I could scratch a fierce post in their style and their diction and their factual command.

    Bejesus! The entire 2017 reinvent was their inspired making in me.

    Don't exactly have role model , but most inspiring is who I know most closely

    My parents :- being most loving , they made me whatever positive is in me is through their excellent parenting; whatever negative I am is due to external forces and definitely my parents contribution is to reduce my stress/cynicism etc.

    Husband for being a very hardworking, responsible guy, makes many sacrifices but never bitter , always kind , empathetic to others, positive and never holds grudge against anyone. Sometimes, I worry that someone may cheat him, but mostly he is an inspiration to me to be positive,happy and forgiving person.

    I always look up to people who don't wait for opportunities but create one themselves
    Also people who have a small curve in their face --friendly smile
