Idols.
While we're on the topic of idols. Who's yours?
Honestly, you are perfectly entitled to having as many as you want. just please, make sure it's someone exerting POSITIVE influence.
Me. I have tons of ppl i admire. i wouldn't quite say they're my idols, but there are some people you just can't help but admire, for the most mundane to the most obvious reasons.
The dictionary.com definition of idol goes like this:
An image used as an object of worship.
A false god.
One that is adored, often blindly or excessively.
Something visible but without substance
which is why, rather than having idols, have people you admire for the right qualities.
and i don't mean who is the best in Maplestory or the like. duh.
i meant like those who embody your school core values. and other values:)
i admire/love/gush about/value/respect/have high regard for/etc lots of people. down to many of my friends. like for being amazing runners (hey i mean long distance runners who do like 20km a day. any idea how much stamina is reqd for that?). or for being gentlemanly. or for being modest. you get the idea.
friendships often need this. besides the normal, EXPECTED mutual respect you give each other, sometimes a dash more helps a lot. it's not a bad thing at all, finding the extraordinary in the ordinary.
so the next time you're having your normal interactions, do look out for the special qualities in people, and value them for it:)
till the next post,
adieu

haha...looks like i m the first one to post a comment.lol.erm,i think tt idols can be classified into two catergories:(a)ppl who u like.(b)ppl hu u think tt have al the 'characteristics' to become an idol,they may not be the person tt u like..to me, the defination of the word 'idol'is (b).cos ppl whom u like may not have a good character.to me,an idol must have a good character.most ppl may think tt idols are superstars,however,superstars may not have a good character. for example,jay chou.he is a superstar,he is an idol to many ppl.however,he does not have a good character.he pointed middle finger to one of the reporters and it's very rude to do tt.mi idol are mi parents.they look after mi n willing to sacrifice for mi.so thye have the characteristics to become an idol.ms meghna,if u r reading this comment,do u think so?=)
