again - about role models

I think a while ago I wrote about having role models and how I thought that worship of another person is totally unnecessary and I did not believe in it.

I do actually wish to revisit this topic, because there are people that I have the great respect for. I think one of the things that actually qualifies these two individuals is because they are in general what I think to be such humble people. I also think they are the most down-to-earth (which you will later find funny) and kind and loving people. Upon more consideration I think what I like most about them is not necessarily what they want to do but how they push to accomplish their goals.

The first is Tim Gunn who is just a delight. So charming and wonderful and decisive in what his tastes are. He is a teacher and inspiration.

Then Chris Hadfield, the canadian astronaut also fascinates me because of his joy and pleasure in making space and scientific exploration accessible and inspiring to those outside of his field. What struck me the most in an interview is how now after being in space he is able to look at all people with the thought of "one of us"
