On Tiger Woods and Other Supposed "Roll Models"

Don't worry about "roll models" letting you or another you love down, because the true nature of a roll model is to APPEAR to be what you BELIEVE them to be, not what they ACTUALLY are every moment of the many seconds of a long, real life.

Drug addition, sexual infidelity, etcetera ALL MEAN NOTHING, the only thing that truly means anything is if your roll model MADE YOU BE or FEEL BETTER at a particular time.

• Made you try again.
  
• Made you succeed, as they did.
  
• Made you improve yourself within and without.

That is all a roll model owes you. Nothing more.
