Role-models are a good influence... sometimes, I find, they can be extremely powerful. But ultimately you can't depend much on them because they're usually not there. My greatest role-models are so self-disciplined and focused on their work that they hardly have an ounce of time for me. So take them with a whole container of salt because one moment you're studying them voraciously and the next moment they've checked out of your life for the most part.
