How to select your role model

In this episode of the Subhash Chandra Show, Subhash Chandra guides youngsters on the topic, “How to select your role model in life”. In one of the previous episodes, Subhash Ji had spoken on the theme “Being your own Coach”. Going forward from there, in this episode of the Subhash Chandra Show, Subhash Ji asks whether it is necessary to have someone as a role model, or shall one become his or her own role model. Or can one’s parents be good role models?

Subhash Ji highlights how India lacks real role models in today’s times, and that there is no one like Mahatma Gandhi and the great leaders of yesteryears that we had, especially before independence. He speaks about the qualities of a true role model – a person who you admire and want to emulate.

Subhash Ji had spoken about the kind of human beings that exist in the Subhash Chandra Show episode aired on 27 May 2017, whose topic was: Is goal-setting important in order to become successful? In this episode, Subhash Ji again explains the kind of human beings that exist:

A Mineral human being is the one whose goal is only to think about himself and work for his own happiness and nobody else’s. Such people are totally self-centred and even their family does not matter to them as much as their own self.
A Vegetable human being is the one who thinks about his or her family and relatives, but his life is limited to it.
An Animal human being is the one who thinks about his or her country and community or caste and again, their life is limited by this aspect.
A Human human being is the one who thinks about the entire world’s well-being.
Transcendental human being is the one who thinks beyond the orbit.

Subhash Ji explains that a “Human human being” is one who you can consider as a good role model.

An audience member who is a mother says she wants to emulate her role model, who is her uncle, but cannot be like him totally, as she has to take care of family. So, there are limitations. Subhash Ji guides her to have faith in her herself and her role model. Choosing the right role model or changing him / her is very important, he says. Change him if you feel he is not right for you at a particular time.
