Superman can fly, see through buildings and listen from large distances. He can run quickly and lift large weights. More importantly he is virtuous and his alter-ego is modest about his abilities. With so many excellent qualities, why wouldn\u2019t Superman be a good role model?<\/p>\n

The problem with Superman, as it is with every role model that tries to be perfect, is that he doesn\u2019t exist. Supermen don\u2019t exist, so I believe it is better to have incomplete and imperfect role models than to try to find a hero without any flaws.<\/p>\n

Who are Your Role Models?<\/h2>\n

Whether you deliberately think about it or not, everyone has role models. These are people that you use as a benchmark for living your own life. They might be people you know or just celebrities you\u2019ve read about.<\/p>\n

Having role models isn\u2019t a bad thing, and it would be incredibly difficult to live without a few. When you hit a problem or dilemma, role models give you guidance about what the ideal decision is. Without any role models you\u2019re forced to reinvent the wheel every time you face a new decision.<\/p>\n

The problem is when you try to look for heroes. Your heroes are good at everything and can\u2019t do anything wrong. They are your supermen and gurus, and it\u2019s dangerous to follow after them.<\/p>\n

Why Superman Isn’t So Super
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There are two reasons why having a perfect role model is dangerous:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. No human being can be perfect<\/strong>. As a result, you end up trying to take an imperfect person and ignoring any flaws. When you try to turn a regular person into Superman you are either going to be deluded or extremely disappointed.<\/li>\n
  2. You\u2019ll become a weak copy of your hero<\/strong>. By building up one person as a perfect role model, you end up becoming a poor imitation. It\u2019s better to highlight a mix of great qualities from different people than to copy one person\u2019s example.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I remember reading on an online forum where a woman posted a concern about a famous motivational speaker. Apparently this speaker had said something homophobic and this person wondered if that was enough to scrap any advice he had given.<\/p>\n

    Perhaps as a heterosexual, white male I\u2019m not in a position to judge discrimination. But, for me, I can respect someone\u2019s advice when it comes to business or time management, even if I\u2019m strongly against their political or social positions. This woman was trying to make the speaker into a hero, someone who was without flaws and she could completely agree with.<\/p>\n

    Incomplete Heroes<\/h2>\n

    The fact is that almost everyone will disagree with you at some point. You\u2019re better off having incomplete role models than trying to turn imperfect people into gods. Having a mix of role models who are each great at different things allows you to learn from those people without ignoring their flaws.<\/p>\n

    Steve Pavlina, who\u2019s website is here<\/a>, had a big influence on my writing when I set up this website. He has also written a lot about the Law of Attraction and what I feel are some questionable beliefs about science. But just because I disagree with him on that point doesn\u2019t mean I can\u2019t learn business or time management lessons from him.<\/p>\n

    Although luckily it doesn\u2019t happen too often, occasionally I\u2019ll get a message from a reader of this site which is overflowing with praise. I like compliments as much as the next guy, but I worry if a few readers have enjoyed a few articles I\u2019ve written and expanded that to assume I\u2019m without flaws.<\/p>\n

    In truth, I make frequent mistakes and there wouldn\u2019t be a single reader here that isn\u2019t better than me in one or more ways. Most of my writing is a way of sorting out issues for myself, rather than gospel. I try not to waste your time demonstrating my flaws, but I assure you, they do exist.<\/p>\n

    Incomplete Models Create a Unique Perspective<\/h2>\n

    Another reason to focus on a set of imperfect role models is that going without heroes makes you a better person. By cultivating a mix of different perspectives and strengths, you become a unique person. If you focus only a few perfect heroes, you end up trying to copy them instead of being yourself.<\/p>\n

    It\u2019s well known in biology that breeding within a family increases the risks of genetic defects. By keeping your gene pool highly focused, defective genes have a greater chance of making an appearance. Incest isn\u2019t good for the health of a species.<\/p>\n

    By the same principle, intellectual incest isn\u2019t good for your mind. When all your teachers and role models come from the same vein of human thinking, you breed mental defects. Having a diverse set of role models ensures that the flaws of one person are balanced by the strengths of another person.<\/p>\n

    When You Look for Supermen, You Ignore the Flawed Heroes<\/h2>\n

    The real problem is that when you look for a person to be everything: wealthy, healthy, happy and morally ideal, you miss people that are fantastic, but flawed. Many of my friends I admire for one or more reasons. That is enough for me to learn from them and pick apart their way of thinking about problems. They might not be Superman, but they can still teach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
