Guys,
I don't think we are too different in our take on this subject.
We all admire dreams and focus but there's a lot more to being a role model than just that. Hitler had dreams and focus, and millions were murdered because of it. Jeffrey Dahmer followed his dreams, which included boiling his victims in a pot. As for everyone having good and bad in them, sure, but there are some who are inwardly focussed, and some who focus on the care and betterment of others. I prefer the latter. Then, for those who care for others right at the end of that continuum there are those who are prepared to risk their lives, or even knowingly die, for others. Those are my role models. Arnold Swarzenegger does not even come close.
