We are constantly in search of a role model a person whom we can emulate or imitate. We would want to be Amitab bachan in making, Abdul kalam in intelligence and Aishvaria rai in beauty.

I just came across this beautiful story

“Ever since I was a little kid. I didn’t want to be myself. I had great admiration for George and wanted to be like him. But george dint even like me. I tried to walk like he walked. I tried to talk like he talked. I tried to imitate him even signed up for the high school he signed for.
Which was why george changed. He began to hang around Jackson; he walked like Jackson. He mixed me up! I was confuced! I began to walk and talk like george who was walking and talking like Jackson.
And then it dawned on me that Jackson walked and talked like Michael and Michael walked and talked like peter.
So her I am walking and talking like George imitation of Jacksons version of Michael, trying to walk and talk like peter.
And who do you think peter is always walking and talking like
of all the people SAM, that, that little peat who walks and talks like me!"


We are the best the way we are. Look into yourself and let others go their way...

Good one, this reminded me of one of my friends who always imitated the popular guys in his class. The blog also reminded me of a time where i foolishly tried to imitate my friends who were very popular, and in the end made a fool of myself. Great blog, keep posting.

Hi seeker,

reminds me of a short story in the book: Conversations with God... don't remember which part it is in.

it's about this little girl who is painting god. her moms asks her what is she up to. the little girl says, " i am paiting god... " mom says, "that is impossible. nobody has ever done that before."

the little girl says, "let me finish."

Very good story :). It speaks the truth!

Abilash, the last sentence of that story goes like this,
without turning her face towards her mom the little girl said, "they will, in a minute!"

This sentence portrays the innocence of the little girl and that's the reason why I like it :).
