From WikiHow.com

You would be surprised if you found out how many people look up to you. Think about how many people in your own life have inspired you to get to where you are today. By being a good role model, you can help others to achieve success in their own lives.

  1. Be aware of your actions. Realize that somebody is watching you most of the time.
  2. Identify your bad habits and ask:
    1. Is it detrimental to my health
    2. Are the results of my actions good or bad?
    3. What are the long term effects?
    4. If I stopped doing it, would I become a better person?
  3. Once you identify your bad habits, fix them.
  4. Show off your good qualities. Make an effort to go out of your way if you think that you can help someone.
  5. Be an inspiration. Whether you are a parent, teacher, coach, athlete, artist, or anything else, do what you do best.

Tips

  1. Talk to and become friends with the people who look up to you. Chances are, many of your friends do look up to you, whether you realize it or not.
  2. If you are a parent, put your family first.
  3. Older siblings, set a good example. Your younger siblings are imitating you most of the time.
Remember, no one is perfect. Just do your best.
