Think about how people are attracted to you? Are they
attracted to you positively or negatively? When you do something what impact is
great and what impact is not so great? Who fits the description as a positive
role model or leader in the entertainment industry? How do you know and what
are some ways that you can find out? According to some, no one fits that
description. Others believe that there are role models out there, especially in
entertainment but why are they a role model? Curiously, I asked this question
to many and these are some of the responses that I have received:
- · “A role model is business minded and is someone who encompasses your beliefs and goals, living the lifestyles that you are striving for. Raven Simone is business minded and does what she wants to do and stays true to her beliefs. She grew her brand into something more than acting. Also the same goes for Mary Kay and Ashley. Jay Z started off as a rapper and has a business mind as well.”
- · “A role model is a person that not only talks about the lifestyle, but also walks it. For instance, Charles Barkley did not think that he was a role model but little children looked up to him.”
- · “A role model is somebody that is nice with different issues but is a leader and not a follower, respectable, loyal, hardworking, and truthful. In the entertainment industry it’s more of an influence because they reach out more. Usher Raymond is someone trying to give back to his community and also Tyler Perry because of his work ethics.”
- · “Bringing positive reinforcement with good ideas and creditability, and always developing something to others that is positive. Before money, someone had to believe in that person. A role model shows proof of leadership and proving to everyone around them. Drug dealers not pushing drugs but pushing hope and dreams. Positive Father figures make a good role model because there are not many out there and making the family his number one priority.”
- · “A role model should be able to empower other people and respect other people. Barry Gordon because he empowered the younger generation. Actually the music industry is dominated an older Jewish Guy.”
The entertainment industry is full of glitches, most likely,
neither one of these people truly have a role model but describes a role model
to be all about a positive movement, and a positive talk. Living your story,
being realistic, not lying to yourself makes a world of difference and I feel a
great struggle enlightens possibilities to a great success.
