With all the celebrities of Hollywood heading the news, where are there good role models left in the world? As a male, there are few role models outside family members to have nowadays. Where can one find a good role model now? Here are ten admirable role models, from childhood stories, for the average Joe.
1. Atticus Finch:
A loving father and do-gooder. He always knows what’s right and wrong but he isn’t always sure of what he’s doing. That’s ok, you don’t have to always be sure of what you know, just confidently do what you think is right.
2. Sherlock Holmes:
He always looks for the answer even when it isn’t obviously apparent. Don’t focus on girls either, focus on what you really want and what you are really after.
3. Willy Wonka:
Give what you can. When you have more than you need, give it to others. Let your life be a legacy of compassion.
4. Mr. Rogers:
Mr. Rogers strived for compassion. He was an average army youth who strived to change the world for the better. Live your best life by giving what you can.
5. Peter Pan:
Find magic in the smallest of things and never grow up when you don’t have to. Always see the magic in the world.
6. Romeo:
Love fiercely and always show your emotions. Don’t die of course, but give your heart to someone so that they can cherish it forever. Let them give their hearts to you so you can cherish them as well.
7. Robin Hood:
Give to the poor. Not necessarily by stealing, but give to those who are less fortunate.
8. Severus Snape:
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Do not show hate.
9. Sirius Black:
Always believe in your cause even when it hurts. The truth will always set you free.

Focus on your inner self and don’t get caught up on outer beauty.
