What characteristics differentiate heroes from the people we see as role models? How does the perception of the heroes and role models in our lives affect our behavior and how we get along with others?<br /><br />It is my thought that heroes are those who live in a world that we perceive as being perfect, but at some point we find that they are also part of the human condition (or maybe they were just created by an author or marketing company). A hero can be inspirational at a specific task, but not necessarily have the required moral compass or fortitude to be a positive role model. <br /><br />A role model is very different than a hero. Role models are people who enter our lives and enrich our experiences. We realize that they are of the human condition and as such have faults, but they are selfless in areas of their lives and help us to be more outward focused at how we can help and influence others. In this way we are then inspired to do our part to make the world a better place through our daily actions. Now let me say that being a role model is not just the words they speak, but it the actions they take….the life that a role model lives out is what speaks the loudest. In other words they inspire us. They are not flashy, they may not lead exciting lives like a hero would, but they are made of the “right stuff” to show us the way along our journey of life.Dave McDonaghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03818022085165471170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868637208708070057.post-64476086859350947032011-04-14T22:48:02.747-04:002011-04-14T22:48:02.747-04:00En mi opinion personal tanto ninos como adultos de...En mi opinion personal tanto ninos como adultos debemos ser lo mas autentico posibles, viviendo sanamente, con buenos fundamentos y valores, respetando a los demas, sin querer imitar a nadie.<br /><br />Cada ser humano es un mundo diferente, lastimosamente los medios publicitarios son tan influyentes en estos tiempos, que ellos son los que crean el estereotipo a seguir y nuestros ninos tienden a seguir este esquema.<br /><br />Que futuro nos espera con esta juventud tan alocada, irresponsable, maleducada y desenfocada.<br /><br />BBsonia bibianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02309980174788690459noreply@blogger.com
