Everyone always wants to have a positive impact on younger generations through speech and actions. We like to call these people role models. Role models can be anyone like a Mother to her daughter or a Father to his sons. But, what does it mean to be a good one? Well, today I am going to be listing down three different reasons for what it means to be a good role model.

~ Confidence ~

When we're looking at the word role model a whole lot of things come to mind. One of these things is confidence. This word is the main thing that people look at when it comes to a role model. Confidence is a good way of embracing yourself and others in a good way. People want to be looking up to someone who is positive in everything and everyone, trustworthy and gives everything a try no matter what. No one wants to see the opposite of that which is someone down, shy or likes to stay back behind someone's shadow. Therefore confidence is an excellent way to identify a role model.

~ Respect ~

Respect is what some people expect of a good role model, and it’s true! Being respectful is a really important part of a role model. When you do this act you are clearly showing people that you can be polite or courteous. You show respect to others by listening and paying attention to what they are saying and not talking over there voices and making eye contact with someone else. Another way you could be respectful is by looking after vulnerable things that are for others and not putting your hands all over it and playing with it. These things are really simple and easy to get so always remember to show/be respectful.

~ Kindness ~

Being kind is just one of the most simple things you can do as a role model. Showing kindness through speech and actions can lead to many great things. You want to show people that you do care for them and that you are nice and friendly. Kindness as a role model doesn’t mean saying bad things to a person or bringing them down which is not very nice. It’s better to be uplifting and delightful to others. This is why I think kindness is a good way to showcase a good role model.

These are just a three easy but simple meanings of a good role model. Anyone can be a good role model. Even if you think you can’t reach the level of a role model pay attention to the three main points I have listed Confidence, Respect and Kindness and you will see a huge improvement in yourself and others. Overall these are what I think creates a special meaning of a good role model and I hope you enjoyed reading it!
