Re: The Responsibility of Being a Role Model

And this is the reason I don't like meeting my fans.

On a serious note though: I make plenty of mistakes. What makes a person a great role model, is what they project outwardly. You can party all you want in your time, but if you start bringing a beer to the robotics meeting, I might have an issue. I generally come with the "don't try this at home" approach. I'll tell people of my mistakes, but I'll tell them to not make the same ones. For instance, I play sudoku in class somewhat regularly. I think that as long as I get good grades, this is ok. However, don't try that yourself. It's for professionals only.

Honestly though, don't play sudoku in class. It really isn't a good idea, your grades can and probably will suffer. Not to mention annoy your teachers.
