Role models can come from any strata of the society. They are generally 'famous' people, with a high profile and they influence young people through their words and actions. The increased emphasis on 'role-model' can be considered as one of the major by-products of the modern society.
Normally, a role-model is an accessible person.By accessible I mean, he or she is in the news , facing the camera more often than not and also likes being given a 'role-model' status. The catch here is the fact that, there are many people(sport persons in particular) who stay away from the limelight. So , their talent and their lifestyle isn't out there in the open . Nonetheless, when a person chooses his/her role model, it's based on the achievements of the role model. A successful person is an obvious choice for a role model . But when you select a role model , the choice cannot be emotional, like I'll make my dad my role model. If your dad (and his achievements,qualities) are directly in sync with what you want to achieve at the end of your life, then go ahead.
It's almost like, say, you are in trouble or need to take a crucial decision. If you have read the biography/autobiography of your role model, the question you ask yourself "What would he/she have done in this situation?" . If your understanding of your role model and his/her life is perfect(or almost perfect) , you should be able to figure that out. What I mean is, we cannot keep a role model just for the sake of having one, we have to be well versed with the kind of person he/she is, what qualities he/she possesses and what sort of life he/she is/was living.
