Buffet went on to make this statement, "Tell me who your hero is and I'll tell you what you're going to do."
This statement immediately made me think of a few different things. First, is he right?? By those we look up to, can others lay down the path in life we are going to take? Also, I think what was more impactful was the asking myself, well who are my heroes? Who do I look up to and want to emulate? Who do I aspire to be like? Am I conscious of who my heroes are?
This question drew out in my the desire to continue and deepened the desire the search for heroes. Especially people who I share commonalities with, they seem especially insightful to me. One of the guys I really look up to but don't know much more than one quote is John Woolman, a British Parliament member and pastor. At his funeral it was said of him, "Many were impacted by the great speeches and sermons he gave, but those who were most impacted were those who had come into contact with the quality of his life among men."
