Desik, Slavko. "The Importance of Having Role Models In Your Life." Lifestyle Updated.

Desik talks about how having a role model in ones life can be one of the most
crucial aspects on the path to self-improvement. Since we are only human, it is a
struggle for many to leave their comfort zones, but role models are something that can
help others find motivation to try different things in their life or overcome hard
challenges. One of the reasons for having a role model in your life is they could possibly
change your view point on something entirely and open a whole new stand point on
something for you. Also, another benefit of having a role model is they can act as your
daily life coach, and they can give meaning to someones life by giving them daily
inspiration to accomplish goals much like how the role model has. Anyone can be a role
model, but the difference of a misleading and good one can be found in ones own
personal views and wants that they want from a role model. Also it is good to have
multiple role models in your life because not one person is perfect and you can get
different aspects of modeling for yourself.

The source does come from a from a personal viewpoint on a sort of blog almost
website but this topic of role modeling is very broad and there are many viewpoints of a
proper role model since it is personal preference for each person. This post by Desik does
a good job at explaining multiple different preferences people may have or look for in a
role model which hits several main points. The speak is Desik and the audience is anyone
who wants to be educated on what they seek personally from a role model and what they
might look for in one so they can self-improve themselves.
In my inquiry project, I want to discuss on what people might find as a good role
model for themselves and the different ways one might deem as proper and I also want to
talk about the ways a role model can help improve peoples lives in many ways. Desiks
article on role models and their importance does a wonderful job of discussing these
points and gives many different views on what people might look for in a role model and
how they can improve their own lives from having one. This will work well for two of
my main points and to also help explain the variability in what people expect and are
looking to gain from.
