Role Model-Irie Ryosuke

Is it important to have a role model? Who can be my role model? Why do I need a role model?

Yesh. It is important to have a role model, usually they are the one whom keep you going at times when you are lazy or perhaps you are demotivated. Thus, they plays an important role, as they are usually successful people whom you wanna be like. I often admire people whom can succeed in both career and studies. They tend to make me a little more studious, as they can do it, I can too right?! Well, I only have studies to take care of anyway :P

With that, I would like to share some story about him. I had found this swimmer very hawt at first, as I first saw him in a Japanese variety show. Then I had started to Google up about him. Reading through his profile makes him even hawt-er. He is an olympic swimmer! Imagine how much of efforts, training, discipline and hard work it is before he is whom he is today. But, he is still studying, he is a university student. How many of us now are actually complaining, I have lots of tutorials, endless assignments, and sleepless nights? Come on, when he can do it, who are you to complain?! That is how they always managed to inspire me.

We easily feel like giving up on things, when things don't goes well, don't goes as we want. But, take a look at others, what makes them successful? He equally has 24 hours. He is none other than another human being, but what makes him so successful? It is nothing other than himself. His discipline, his passion, him finding himself. He did not like swimming at first, and he wants to quit. His hangs onto it as his mother promised to get him out after a year being there. Throughout that period, I guess a lot of us would just simply, and lazily go to the training and leave, but he finds himself there. He developed the passion over the time. Would you?

"“I am what I am today because you didn’t ask my coach to let me quit,” he recently told his mother."

When he can, why not you? That is how he changed my life to be more discipline, more studious and definitely better. I don't want to give up that easily any more. Thank you!
