YOU WILL BECOME WHAT YOU IDOLIZE. BUT WHAT YOU IDOLIZE MAY NOT BE WORTHY, AND MAY IN FACT BE DISASTROUS

—“A man’s idols are a reflection both of what he sees in himself and of what he wishes to become (or wishes he could become). All of my “idols” are known for being renowned leaders of strong nations, men who had a hand in changing the societal order of their times and ultimately men of moral uprightness. Perhaps the most amusing (yet bitter) thing to me is that when I ask the fellow men in my generation who their idols are, the responses range from sports players to spineless politicians to f@66y musicians in boy bands. It is not difficult to see the reflections of their idols in their character. Always be aware of who you are giving reverence and why.”– Grant T Matthews
