You can find them in all sort of colors, shapes and sizes.

I don't believe professional athletes should be role models. I believe parents should be role models.... It's not like it was when I was growing up.

Charles Barkley

It's hard to carry a child around with you, but fortunately, in most cases, you don't have to ask a child for directions if you have a well-chosen role model ready to guide you. This is the next prescription: Take one role model, as often as needed. Set aside a few minutes today to fill this prescription so you will have it handy when you need it. Think now about who your role models have been. What do they offer? Who else do you admire, and exactly what do you admire about them? Have your roster of role models ready and waiting to help you the next time you are perplexed.

Moms and dads, it's important that your kids see you reading. Not just books - reading the newspaper is good, too.
