Teachers Versus Role Models

Throughout our lives, we often seek the guidance of teachers and role models. Even though I'm sure I could greatly benefit from a teacher, at this point in life, I'm more interested in role models. 

Here are a few reasons why:

• Teachers give us maps to follow;
• Role models provide us with a compass.

• You can only have a limited number of teachers at a time;
• Role models can be unlimited.

• Teachers often cost money for their guidance;
• Roles models are often free.

• Teachers take us through their specific methodology;
• Role models allow us to find our own methodology.

• Teachers show us their way;
• Role models help us find our own way. 

Lastly:

• Teachers often make us feel like students;
• Roles models inspire us to become teachers.
