Heroes and Role Models

First, think of ten real people (living or dead) who are your heroes.

Generally, aim for the people outside of your immediate family and the circle of friends.

If you can't think of any heroes, then go for role models. These people need not be business people, they can be any type of person (from artist to CEO, musician to guru). The only requirement is that you come up with ten of them, then put them in a list (numbered, from 1-10) with your most admired person first. If there are ties, that's fine (number accordingly).

For each person on your list, explain why this individual is your hero or role model.
