Role Models
da Vinci question: What are my most inspiring role models? At the moment, I cant think of anyone specific, although I know I have them. To generalize, it would be anyone who has a strong personal moral code, and is not afraid to stand up for it, even when its unpopular. Also anyone who has overcome insurmountable odds, on their own, and has reached out to others to help them. And people who have been blessed with everything in life, and yet realize that most of the world is not so fortunate, and has a conscious about that, and shares with others. Here I could name countless mega rich people who give of their fortunes, but I cannot think of anyone, in my knowledge, who gives enough in proportion to there wealth. Anyone who has to have countless mansions, an endless number of luxury cars, takes a private jet to Venice for dinner, spends thousands of dollars for one dress, is in my opinion, not giving enough. I personally could not live with myself or be happy, until I had lifted as many people up as possible. To think a child is starving to DEATH in Africa, would bother me. To be aware of the fact that our source of oxygen is being depleated every day at an alarming rate would, and does drive me crazy. And also, to know of countless animal abuse issues going unaddressed, because no one seems to care. If anyone in the world fits into this role, than they are my hero.
