Hon. John Njoroge Michuki. He was the best in whatever he did.

May the Good Lord rest his soul in eternal peace.

His Majesty the King of Popular Music, Michael Joseph Jackson. (RIP). Not only did he become the best in his work of art, but also made it look magical.

The Officers of the Presidential Escort. They have not yet lost a President on their watch. Thank you Ladies and Gentlemen for looking after His Excellency The President Mwai Kibaki.

(1) My dad...one of the most principled men.I have ever come to know,stands for the truth and lives by it,he always pushes/challenges you to do your best and attain the highest accolades achievable,the simple fact that he believes in me/us even when you dont believe in yourself impresses me,the sacrifices he makes over and over again made all of us what we are now....over and above all he,s a man after God's own heart.

Should a role model be someone who is better than you? If you getter better than your role model in the process, would one be needed to change to another one? And by the way do you know of someone who grew in life to be better than their role model?

I think a role model should have something which you aspire to have or motivates you. I don't think its about being better than your role model because we are all unique so comparing each other is hard.

Many of us take our parents as role models. Yet some of us do better than them in life but we still look up to them.
