Values

VALUES

I know a lot of people, especially in competitive careers, who have a
hero or an idol in their careers. Someone who has made a big name for himself or who has amassed great fortunes. I see this all the time
amongst people who try to make money online. Some people – yes, some very good people – nearly worship these make-money-online gurus.

There is a problem. In most cases, such people are famous for:

a) Convincing people to give money to them for something they really didn’t need

b) Being a celebrity

Should such people be worshipped? Let me ask you what it says about your values if you pick someone like this as a role model?

In most cases, there is no black and white answer. It is a good thing
to want to excel at your career and to try to emulate those people who have done a good job (or at least are seen to have done a good job). But be careful whom you hold in highest esteem, because the people you might most wish to admire might not even have any fame, let alone fortune.
