Who Do You Admire?
"We admire people to the extent that we cannot explain what they do, and the word admire then means marvel at" - B.F. Skinner
Good day, and welcome back to another segment of Talk About Your Business. If you are new here, we welcome you too. Today, I have a food for thought. Have you ever thought about who you admire? I most certainly have. At first, I reminisced about my family, friends, and celebrities such as Lebron James, Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry, and the list goes on. However, I never really stop to wonder why exactly I admire these people. Was it because of their skills in basketball, in hosting a show well, or acting? I notice that I had to change my perception not of what they have done but who they are. It begs the question, does the qualities they have if it is something that I would want to include in my self-development. Or do their belief or values are what I align with?

- How they interact with others?
- How do they look at the world?
Here is one person I admire and why:

One would be my college friend, who recently graduated (with honors) with a Medical Degree (MD). Some reasons include:
- He is a very hard worker. When everyone was going to parties or basketball games, you could always rely on him to be studying in the library. His ability to prioritize what is important has always impressed me.
- He is very persistent in his fight to practice Family Medicine which I must say is very commendable and motivating.
- He has always seemed to be quite intelligent and enjoys assisting others in understanding concepts. He truly believes in the statement that no man should be left behind, which is something that I have embodied.
Now to you, who do you admire? We will love to hear your response below. Until then, continue to be safe and be well, my Community comrades.
