Role Models
This page ties in with "Good Causes".

Q: What is a Role Model?

A: The following.
* Anyone who helps out in a big or small way, to support their fellow citizens. This can be leading by example, speaking out for good causes, or even smiling at strangers. We all have a big impact on the happiness of those around us. We are especially role models to our family and social circle, although not everyone is a good role model.

Q: What steps can I take to be an excelent role model?
A: The following list.

* Please see the "Good Causes" page for a list of ideas on how to "Support Good Causes". I'll paste in a few basic ideas here.

* Say only that which uplifts your neighbor. Constructive behavior builds this nation, and destructive behavior destroys it. Find ways to turn a negative thought into a positive one, it can be a healthy habbit you'll find quite useful.

* Be the "ideal citizen". Not a super hero, but just a level headed person who cares for the well being of others. Law abiding, helpful, moral, supportive, sanitary, and dedicated to the Lord and the healthy healing of society. One who is mentally aware, physically fit, and morally streight.

* List out ways you can support your friends, town, nation, and even the planet. Be inventive, and let others be involved.

* Connect people with resources they may find useful. Be it deals, ideas, friends, or anything that they could possibly benefit from. They'll appricate the thought, and just maybe you'll lead them to greater things.

* Be polite, and give people space when they need it. Don't live through other people, and don't force yourself on them. Ask them how they feel and what they would like done. Serve your neighbor.

The image you see is an early version of displaying who I am, within a visual poster. This is an experiment for various reasons. One being gaging changes in my personality, lifestyle, and wisdom. Another being the continual goal of shaping my future life, and acquiring role models. Standing on the shoulders of giants, to supplement and grow talents as a male Christian in the Technology sector. Here I shall list some of the "Role Models" I'm currently researching. The items in the image are more "people and products that influenced me". But this list is more "Possible Role Models, and Major Technologies I'm Researching".
