We are certainly influenced by role models, and if we are surrounded by images of beautiful rich people, we will start to think that to be beautiful and rich is very important – just as in the Middle Ages, people were surrounded by images of religious piety.

You need a different checklist and different mental models for different companies.

I have never understood models. I find it really hard to find beauty in that or to discover beauty because the beauty was so obvious.

I don’t have just one role model – rather, pieces of inspiration from many different entrepreneurs. One of the great things about being an entrepreneur is that it naturally enables you to build a village of advisors and role models.

13
Businesses need to proactively create models that make a difference in society and let everyone else use them, talk about them, emulate them – and build on them.
14
To be an objective leader means aligning your models with the needs of the organization. There is no question anymore that collaboration, seeking out diverse perspectives and developing new ways to look at challenges and opportunities, is a key leadership competency.
15
Many billboards and magazine ads have resorted to showing isolated body parts rather than full-body portraits of models using or wearing products. This style of photography, known in the industry as abstract representation, allows the viewer to see himself in the advertisement, rather than the model.

No one can take away the experience of Yeltsin’s freedoms, but Russian democracy will never follow Western models: other authoritarian ‘controlled democracies’ – Turkey, Taiwan, Mexico – ultimately developed into democracies. But it took decades.

24
Because the private sector has evolved processes and metrics for growth over many generations, for-profit models are more likely to efficiently accomplish their goals.
25
The older supermodels sometimes don’t agree with the fact there is a new generation of models. We’re not saying we’re supermodels. I’d rather people look at us as businesspeople, and, yes, modeling is our business right now, but we’re not trying to take anybody‘s spot, and we’re not trying to discredit the past.
26
27
In order to sharpen its prediction skills, our brains constantly build models, or ‘templates,’ of the world. The better the template, the better the performance. And now we know playing action video game actually fosters better templates.
28
There are about 300,000 neighborhoods in the United States, and more than half of them have at least one millionaire living there. Most millionaires drive American cars. Out of the top 30 or 40 makes and models, Ford is number one, with about 10 percent of the market share.
29
30
Europe has found itself confronted with fresh challenges – challenges of a global character, the nature of which is directly connected with changes in the international climate and the difficulties of seeking new models for co-operation.
31
Companies and leaders are role models – not just with the business community – but in the broader world.
32
To process and close models in 50 states and 2,000-plus counties with the myriad of, just, tens of thousands of different regulations, customs, vendors – it’s a monster. So the only way to do that is with technology. It really is rocket science.
33
34
I have always loved Reese Witherspoon and Amy Adams as role models – I read all their interviews and agree with the fundamentals of how they manage the limelight and also how they look and carry themselves. A huge part of beauty is how you carry yourself and how you deal with certain situations.
35
Young women can be particularly hampered by a lack of female teachers, since they may not feel as comfortable in classes taught by men. And as more girls see educated women who are prominent in their careers and communities, the more positive role models there are for them to emulate.
36
37
38
Too many pupils at schools in the U.K. want to have careers as footballers or TV hosts, or models, because that’s what they’re constantly exposed to as the heroes of our time.
39
I don’t care to be famous. But at the same time, you look at all the role models these little girls have, and they don’t have anyone to look up to. I mean, it’s weird, but if I just hid out and didn’t let myself be known, who would they look up to instead, you know?
40
In senior year at college, Paula Vogel was my playwriting teacher; she is the first person to introduce me to the notion that a woman could actually forge a career in the theatre. Up until then, the possibility seemed remote and inaccessible, as I had very few role models who directly touched my life.
41
42
What theatre started to look at much earlier than any other form was the internal operations of ordinary people, sometimes using mythic models in order to tell the story.
43
44
I don’t think kids should have role models. They’re disastrous.
45
They’re protecting an archaic industry. They should turn their attention to new models.
46
No one came to our neighborhoods with stand-up jobs and showed us there’s a different way. Maybe, had I seen different role models, maybe I’d’ve turned on to that.
47

We are being accused that some models are anorexic. But we as fashion designers cannot be blamed, because you know, when I talk to women around the world, rich and poor and young and old and intellectual and not, what they want to be is skinny. You ask them, ‘What is your dream?’ It’s to be skinny. That’s all they want.
51
52
But I think role models also start in the home with your parents.
53
I did a lot of ramp modelling in South Africa and Hong Kong, when models were free to dance and walk on the ramp.
54
Parents must lead by example. Don’t use the cliche; do as I say and not as I do. We are our children’s first and most important role models.
55
56
I’m not photographing the model in the classic sense; the model is playing a part in my photographs. It’s more like theater. I always work with models I know, and I let them participate in deciding how to act their part.
57
58
If people decide thin is out, the fashion industry won’t have thin models anymore. Have you spent time with fashion people? They are ruthless. They want money. And the one thing they know is people want clothes to cover their bodies. Unfortunately, most people aren’t comfortable with their bodies.
59
Industrial jobs are disappearing, and they will continue to disappear owing to productivity gains from automation. Thus, social models that were created to fit industrial and early service economies will no longer be viable. As the industrial workforce shrinks, the social model founded on it will go, too.
60
I hope to show people everywhere that you can be unapologetically you and still succeed. I also hope that by using more diverse models, brands can see that there is power in diversity, and not shy away from doing something new for fear of failure. The effects are bigger than just the fashion industry.
61
We are constantly consuming entertainment; we treat celebrities like role models and royalty. Sometimes destructive behavior gets ignored, or sometimes the pressure breaks them.
62
I want to go create my own independent content and entertainment, in new models and in new ways, and essentially show studios and networks that people are good.
63
64
65
It’s important for moms, but also dads, to recognize that they’re role models when it comes to their kids’ physical health, when it comes to working out, and when it comes to nutrition.
66
67
68
My father was in and out of jail throughout my childhood. He really wasn’t in my life at all. Thankfully, I had two strong role models who guided me through those years.
69
The European girls, like the Russians, tend to stick together, but there’s never any rivalry. Sometimes there’s a little bit of tension with the older girls because they might feel a little threatened by the younger models, but it’s not between personalities.
70
Whenever one or more components of a company‘s business model changes, new business models are created for supporting companies. The changes might involve niches served, new marketing angles or improved value propositions.
71
72
My cat is older than many fashion models. I won’t even discuss the fact that she also weighs more.
73
I think it’s important that models be healthy.
74
As a child, I wanted to know how things worked and to control them. With a friend, I built a number of complicated models that I could control.
75
In our generation, the role models were Gandhi and Nehru. We revered them. They were venerated personalities. I read almost every speech of Nehru.
76
77
I want all the aspiring models out there to know that it’s definitely not just a pretty face that matters!
78
‘Sanctus’ deals with creation myths in every culture. It fascinates me that all cultures, evolving independently, have similar models of mankind‘s origins, of a Greater Being, of the flood, and so on. It’s amazing how they crop up time and time again.
79
80
81
You’re not working with models, you’re working with real women who have, like, anatomy. Models do not have anatomy.
82
We’ve seen the kind of social impact a professional sports team has on a city. A team brings high-profile role models into your community who are healthy and they’re great images for the city to gravitate toward, especially for kids.
83
84
At the end of the ’90s, I was very bored with the usual models, so I discovered a new generation that impressed me with their fresh look. I still keep working with models like Gisele Bundchen and Kate Moss, and I am still looking for new, interesting faces. Life is about discovery, and you should never stop searching.
85
86
My role models are people who can do things; I say to myself, ‘I wish I could do that.’
87
There’s a reason why a lot of models turn actors. You have to connect with people, talk to people, be able to be far from home, and you have to be aware of the camera in the same way you would be when modeling.
88
The older people that one admires seem to be fearless. They go right out into the world. It’s astounding. Maybe they can’t see or they can’t hear, but they walk out into the street and take life as it comes. They’re models of courage, in a strange way.
89
I have girls who are concerned about how they look compared to models or what have you. It’s my responsibility to teach them that beauty is more than superficial.
90
91
92
The U.S. healthcare industry is undergoing radical transformation with the Affordable Care Act. Evolving thought and business models have little semblance to present mechanisms.
93
94
Most models are emotionally abandoned. They need me. I’m their mother.
95
A lot of people say Michael Jordan and all of that. But Magic Johnson and my dad were my role models.
96
Models are what they are… people who model clothing, that’s all.
97
We need a lot more positive Latin role models in movies and in television. They exist! It’s not fiction.
98
The models that the other parties have used where you have a very powerful leader squashing any kind of independent ideas from the grass roots is not very attractive to the electorate.
99
100
It’s very difficult today for girls to become supermodels. There is a lot more competition, a lot of countries in the East have opened up so there are many more models than there were in the Nineties. Now they have to compete with famous actresses but also with, say, reality stars to be on the magazine covers.
101
102
I’m so tired of reading all the negativity about black fathers running away and no black men as role models in society. I had a great father. Most of the guys I knew had great fathers.
103
My gender has never been an issue or a limitation. I was fortunate enough to be surrounded by strong women growing up, and with them as my role models, I was never limited by the traditional roles women find themselves in.
104
105
I hope that somewhere in Small Town, U.S.A., a 15-year-old kid looks to me as a role model the way I looked at the Indigo Girls and Elton John as role models.
106
People do make assumptions about models. That’s their issue, not mine. It doesn’t bother me because I’m comfortable enough in my own skin – I know who I am.
107
108
109
There are great female role models out there, and I just feel very proud to be able to represent them in my work.
110
Models need to learn to speak up.
111
112
The only thing I can give to young gay people is that when I was growing up, there were no role models that were blokey that were men. Everybody was flamboyant and camp, and I remember going, ‘That’s not me, so even though I think I am gay, I don’t think I fit into this world.’
113
114
115
116
117
118
119
120
121
There are many role models I’ve been around, and kind of the biggest one – there’s a show called ‘Push Girls,’ with all women in wheelchairs, and they’re all really good friends of mine. And one, Angela Rockwood, is still modeling, in a wheelchair. After a car accident.
122
So everyone has that problem, models have that problem, too.
123
I don’t think anyone would say that the women on the United States national team are not great role models and ambassadors. Everywhere we go, we connect with fans, sign autographs, and represent our sport and federation with class.
124
125
I learned early on that if I was to get attention, I would have to be charming. Even the models I’ve photographed are often like that. Some of them are not beautiful. But, if you catch them in the right light, they glow.
126
127
128
129
130
You can’t be what you can’t see. Expose yourself to more role models and diverse experience to broaden your perspectives and ideas.
131
Most people don’t feel empowered to make CAD models. The MakerBot Digitizer solves that problem.
132
Even top fashion models get critical about one certain part of their body that they do not like. So perfection is impossible.
133
134
Most of our American musical heritage is based on European models, but the folk hymns and spirituals are one of the most fertile and unique of our American musical traditions.
135
Before starting my own investment funds, the only models I was aware of were those of Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger. Their models made a lot of sense to me, so I cloned them.
136
137
138
139
I’ve seen the effect some of my shows have had, and so I like characters that can be role models for young girls, roles that can help to change people’s perspective.
140
That’s how I taught myself how to draw – tracing the ads and petting new clothes on the models.
141
I am passionate about what design can do – how far it can support the new ideas and the new ways of living of this 21st Century. Good design accelerates this exciting future where manufacturing is local, materials and processes are cradle to cradle, business models are both socially and financially driven.
142
I didn’t have many role models or interesting women to get stirred up by until Yoko Ono came along.
143
144
145
For me, I was always the only woman in my cohort, first as a mechanical engineering undergraduate student, then as a chemical engineering graduate student. There were very few women getting degrees in those fields at the time. My role models were men – great men role models.
146
If I look at my era, you looked at the black players who were playing then and there weren’t many – Clyde Best… Certainly as each generation has gone, there have been role models for young black players to aspire to.
147
Young people need models, not critics.
148
Business models change. As technology processes, business models change.
149
Permissible growth in the future has to be based on sustainable and equitable models.
150
The way the media tends to cover fashion is as this superfluous, vacuous industry. They focus on models and shows, but behind all that is a massive global industry.
151
I have role models, but I take the attributes of the people that I admire, and I use them to create my best self.
152
153
I love so much the models from the ’60s and the ’70s. They were extremely professional, great models who knew how to work the camera so well and loved fashion and had a great sense of style.
154
It’s an epidemic. Instead of socialising and having proper conversations, we’re staring at pictures of models in bikinis and wondering how they look like that. It’s like self-loathing.
155
156
The intellectual force of the West is still dominant, but other cultures are getting stronger. I expect that we will develop a new way of thinking in architecture and urban planning, and that less will be based on our models.
157
Beauty has been democratised. No longer the preserve of movie stars and models but available to all. But while the invitation to beauty is welcomed, it has become not so much an option as an imperative.
158
159
160
I was raised by strong women, and the role models I had in music and cinema were strong, too – liberated and provocative.
161
If all the shows on television were about happy, functional relationships, first of all I don’t know how many role models there are out there, sadly. And secondly, who would watch? Drama is conflict.
162
I think it’s important that there is a change, especially in fashion. I’m pleased to be part of a ‘new breed’ of models who perhaps don’t exactly fit the status quo.
163
164
Kids need role models, whether it’s baseball players, actors or musicians: people to bring a little positive light into their hearts and minds. We need to be a little kinder to those people because it’s not easy being that role model, looked upon as something we are all incapable of being – too perfect.
165
Aside from introducing and supporting legislation to help close the gender gap in STEM, I believe that shining the spotlight on female role models is one of the best ways we can break the gender stereotype.
166
Rules and models destroy genius and art.
167
I have a lot of trouble understanding all the detail of finance and administration – but if you combine intellectual and professional capacity with a social conscience, you can change things: countries, structures, economic models, colonial states.
168
169
170
My favorite models are always going to be the people who are pushing the boundary and challenging what it is to be a model.
171
Few incumbents will succeed in deploying blockchain applications to enable new business models. The innovator‘s dilemma will prevail. Even if they aspire to, they must first get their feet wet within their business boundaries.
172
173
I love working out how things are made, which is why I have so many models of towers.
174
175
176
177
Old models of development simply seek to lure business with substantial tax breaks and then hope (and pray) that economic benefits will trickle down to residents. It has not worked for our city in the past, and it will not work for the future city that we all hope want to see.
178
There are great slender models, great tall models, Amazonian models, great busty models – my point is models of all shapes and sizes, age, ethnic background should be embraced and celebrated.
179
When we looked out at the world and saw what 3D scanners could do, we wanted to make something that could make really high quality models that you could create on your MakerBot.
180
181
I really don’t think we should label models as ‘plus’ or ‘runway.’
182
I’ve never hung around with any models. I’ve always hung around with my friends from school and kept myself to myself.
183
Once you understand business models you can then start prototyping business models just like you prototype products.
184
I wonder why it has taken such a long time in our country to understand or look at the potential of plus-size models. So what if they are plus-size, they are confident and have equal enthusiasm for life.
185
Models will always get a bad rap about weight, but I love to eat.
186
We can go into the Chinese market, develop the engine, new models of cars. Proton can compete. What is the point of giving the company to foreigners? It will revert to the same situation where foreigners just assemble their cars here. We learn nothing.
187
Economics is a good degree to have but the subject is very theoretical at Cambridge and I found it frustrating that you can’t apply a lot of the models to particular circumstances.
188
While I appreciate how thin some of the models are – when it’s healthy – and think, ‘Yeah, you’re gorgeous and the clothes hang off you amazingly,’ I like to stay strong about how I’m built.
189
Women of all ages need to be present in the media to instill girls and young women with self-confidence about their futures. And women of my age need healthy role models. Otherwise, how can we build the future dreams we still deserve to have?
190
I think role models exist, but they usually don’t get the light because people like scandal.
191
192
I want to play positive role models – women who mean something to other women.
193
What is consciousness? Our brain simulates reality. So, our everyday experiences are a form of dreaming, which is to say, they are mental models, simulations, not the things they appear to be.
194
195
If you look at the role models that are out there, the women that tend to be photographed tend to be actresses and models, whereas the men are often in the media because of what they do in terms of business and sport.
196
I have been watching how Indian women are forced to do certain things, as the stories of sacrifice and devotion in mythology demand from them. And then there are inspiring stories about women like the Rani of Jhansi that offer women refreshing role models.
197
I’ve always been a strong feminist and felt that the image of models was detrimental to women. That whole thing really bothered me. I would think about quitting about once a week.
198
All this size 0! A bit ridiculous. There’s something creepy about fashion shows. The models look like they’re going to be tortured. They do this strange pony walk; their heels are so high, they can hardly walk. Creepy!
199
200
I’ve never been to New Zealand before. But one of my role models, Xena, the warrior princess, comes from there.
201
In the 1980s, there weren’t a lot of role models for gay teenagers.
202
Not since the steam engine has any invention disrupted business models like the Internet. Whole industries including music distribution, yellow-pages directories, landline telephones, and fax machines have been radically reordered by the digital revolution.
203
204
Companies are hiring cosplayers to be promotional spokes models for them. There are cosplayers trying to develop a cult following even though they’ve only been cosplaying for less than a year or two. It’s all about the social media or Facebook likes.
205
I think if you look at Andre then and now, you look at two different models. Of course it’s personal preference, I think Andre now is a great role model for the kids. He has started training differently than he was before, and so on and so on.
206
And this fear that US models are replacing everything else now spills over from the sphere of culture into our two remaining categories: for this process is clearly, at one level, the result of economic domination – of local cultural industries closed down by American rivals.
207
We’re supposed to be role models.
208
209
Some Korean models may be seen in European Fashion Week, but it is hard to find them in New York.
210
When pastors don’t have rich spiritual lives with Christ, they become victimized by other models of success – models conveyed to them by their training, by their experience in the church, or just by our culture.
211
212
Certainly when I got to medical school, I had role models of the kind of physicians I wanted to be. I had an uncle who, looking back, was probably not the most-educated physician around, but he carried it off so well.
213
214
In the 1940s, economics started getting highly mathematical. It was basically because economists weren’t smart enough to write down models of real behavior that they started writing down models of highly rational behavior – and they kind of forgot about humans.
215
216
217
I liked models since I was 3 years old. As I grew older, I started developing a penchant towards makeup, pedicures, etc. I used to carry out the procedures at my home itself.
218
Our system is dynamic, always shifting gears. What I do is I build models to beat the market.
219
Disruption is continuously afoot in every industry, but especially in autos. It is how Toyota, Nissan and Honda bloodied Detroit: They did not start their attack with Lexus, Infiniti and Acura, but with low-end subcompact models branded Corona, Datsun and CVCC.
220
221
Our goal was to win, to win a Super Bowl, but also to win in the right way, to be role models to our community, to represent Indianapolis, the state of Indiana and the National Football League.
222
Typically, when you look for role models, you want someone who has your interests and came from the same background. Well, look how restricting that is. What people should do is take role models a la carte. If there’s someone whose character you appreciated, you respect that trait.
223
Models can be people, too. But the only way to do that is to kind of step up and keep doing new things that no one has thought of, from new websites to new blogs, a newscast, doing speeches, talking to kids. It kind of opens a new headline every time: ‘Oh, a model hasn’t done this before; a model hasn’t done that before.’
224
You’re working with models who are looking at their watch, and it didn’t work for me. I wanted to have relationships with amazing people.
225
226
227
228
A lot of people say television holds up a mirror to life, and that’s why you see all the drug busts and the killings and the seamier side of life. I personally take the view that it’s not sufficient to portray only negative role models. It’s not enough to say ‘no’ to drugs. What do you say ‘yes’ to?
229
When I see my kids totally into their Legos, it brings me back to the days I was hanging out and playing with my monster models. It brings me there in a second.
230
Everyone I’m photographing, I feel like I’m remaking a family, in a way. My brothers and sisters are my heroes. So many of my models resemble them.
231
232
I work with a host of amazing women who act as role models, who give their spare time freely to encourage these girls to give things a go, to reach out and take a chance and to explain that should they fail, well that’s just a part of life.
233
234
I wouldn’t say there’s a need for the Spice Girls, but I’d say there’s a place for the Spice Girls. There’s certainly a place for them, but you don’t promote the Spice Girls at the expense of promoting what I think are good role models for girls. You need to create some kind of equality.
235
I was always excited by the idea of having my own company, but models are rarely serious when they venture off into something else, be it acting, singing, or starting their own business.
236
The first time I learned about Aerie, I was blown away by how beautiful and confident the models appeared in their ads – and more so that they were un-retouched.
237
I hate big models.
238
239
I could try to incorporate or reflect in my models what it is that an employee, manager, or entrepreneur does: to recognize that most are engaged in their work, form expectations and evolve beliefs, solve problems, and have ideas. Trying to put these people into economic models became my project.
240
Mariacarla Boscono has taught me a lot, and I have been lucky enough to become good friends with so many amazing models.
241
Seeing guys like Canelo helps me get better because they are already champions and I want to become champion. Having role models like that helps me a lot.
242
Oftentimes you’ll see pictures from fashion shows and all the models outside the show in their real clothes are wearing brands like Supreme.
243
244
The human brain is a product of natural selection. In the face of scarcity, our hominid great-great-uncles were unable to compete against our sapient great-great-grandparents’ abilities to build more elaborate mental models and orchestrate their bodies’ movements in more sophisticated ways.
245
No matter how old and glorious the models, sad indeed is the woman who sees fashion as a means of self-expression rather than an agent of social control.
246
Risk models are a substitute for historical knowledge, because they tend to work with just three years’ worth of data. But three years is not a long time in financial history.
247
I think we have a great opportunity as fighters and athletes to be good role models. I’m by no means perfect, but I think we can try.
248
Thank God we have the example of Martin Luther King, Jr. People need role models. They need to see examples of people in peoples’ lives, and that’s why it’s so important not just to commemorate his life, but to study and try to live by the principles of that life.
249
When my younger son was 13 years old, he asked me to read ‘Swallows and Amazons’ to him while he made models. He liked it so much that I ended up reading all thirteen of Ransome’s books, including the ones that I missed out on. This led my son to ‘Treasure Island,’ ‘Robinson Crusoe’ and ‘Coral Island.’
250
I like strong female characters. I try to write them as role models for young girls.
251
Over time, low rates can put pressure on the business models of financial institutions.
252
Traditional models of work only let us cross out the needs on the very bottom of the pyramid – basic sustenance. On the flipside, independent employment within the network of the new sharing economy addresses our needs for a sense of community and belonging, autonomy and respect, creativity and problem solving.
253
Our camps and workshops offer a space where girls of color can learn computer science and coding principles alongside their peers, with mentorship from female role models who have established themselves in tech fields where women, and minority women in particular, tend to be underrepresented.
254
French laicite is probably aggressive and antagonistic to the religion, but there are other models of secularism in the world where there could be reconciliation between religion and secularism.
255
We seem to live a culture that doesn’t want blemishes. The vision of most beautiful models… airbrushed in order to be seen as perfect, infects our notion of how literature should be written.
256
257
I’m quite competitive. Not with other models but with myself. I have to win.
258
One of the most important things to me is to make things real, not have models who are perfectly groomed or clothes that are too perfect. It all has to have a twist because that’s how people live.
259
The Internet is a really big tent. In theory, it can support the full range of models, one of which is, ‘Here’s my information and I’m happy you can use it,’ and the other one is, ‘Here’s the information and you can’t have it unless you pay me for it,’ and perhaps some things in-between. There is a full spectrum of models.
260
Kids need activities and role models to stay out of trouble.
261
My grandpa got me a set of Wilson clubs, Sam Snead models, when I was 12. Many years later, when I’d become well known, I got to know Sam, and we played a lot of golf together.
262
263
264
265
‘Great Expectations’ was an important novel in my adolescence. It was very much one of those emblematic novels that made me wish I could write like that. It helped that my models as a writer were dead over a hundred years before I began to write.
266
267
268
Women today are dealing with both their independence and also the fact that their lives are built around finding and satisfying the romantic models we grew up with.
269
Our children need to see and hear about more black role models in many fields so they can make better choices.
270
One of the most powerful transformational catalysts is knowledge, new information, or logic that defies old mental models and ways of thinking.
271
272
273
Labels make us feel worse about ourselves, and I would love for all models, no matter what their size, to be treated equally and called the same thing.
274
275
276
277
278
When I was 49, I posed for Playboy – I was very flattered to be asked. I was quite honoured, really, considering that most of the models they feature are in their twenties.
279
280
281
282
I like running my Super Late Models here and there and there are times when you go to those events and they are for $2,000 or $3,000 to win. There’s no money involved in that; you’re basically spending your money to go racing in those things but it’s so enjoyable. For me, it’s kind of like a golf game.
283
The only reason we make good role models is because you guys look up to athletes and we can influence you in positive ways. But the real role models should be your parents and teachers!
284
The Term Paper Artist’ represents two models of writing, one of the little boy bouncing his ball, generating stories for the sheer pleasure of it, and the besieged adult, writing to make a living, having to contend with a very competitive, very unreliable world in which public image counts.
285
286
287
I believe very firmly that gay people of every stripe and age should be role models for all children, and that means interacting with them.
288
289
By saying that leaders – male or female – have to look or act a certain way to be respected as role models, we are not only hurting those individuals but also reinforcing rigid benchmarks for the next generation of passionate, aspiring leaders, who are watching.
290
291
When we can see things as they are, without projecting our mental models and fears, we are being objective. When we can understand and consider another person’s point of view, we are being objective.
292
In 2007, a very inspired New York University Ph.D. student counted all the models on the runway, every single one that was hired, and of the 677 models that were hired, only 27, or less than four per cent, were non-white.
293
294
I have a lot of good role models in my family for things off the court – like my older sister, who’s a lawyer. I don’t like writing papers, but she’s helped me a lot. It’s nice to have an art and business background because they tie together perfectly.
295
When I go to shoots, the young models are excited to see me. It proves they can have long and successful careers, too.
296
The private-public partnership models that have been made in the area of health – we really need to adopt those in the area of education.
297
I was used to being the only woman in everything… I didn’t even think about it. Men were my role models – there’s nothing wrong with that.
298
299
As an African-American male born with a couple of strikes against you because of your skin color, I think it’s very, very important to have some positive role models around, especially male influences.
300
My grandfather was a very courageous man, and I consider myself very lucky because I have three powerful role models that will obviously influence my career choices when I am older.
301
Michael and I had great role models. Though his father has passed away, his parents had an amazingly strong marriage, as do mine. Both weathered really tough times. For us it has been normal to stay together through difficulties. We grew up witnessing that firsthand.
302
303
My parents are good role models because they’ve worked hard and gave me a happy childhood.
304
305
306
Growing up with strong female role models is always inspiring, and growing up, that was something I aspired to play.
307
The relationship between the models and the musical performers is very important.
308
For me, actors have to have a character, an aura, body language. They’re not models. They used to call actors models. But I want them to participate in the film.
309
One of my role models is Marion Cotillard.
310
I’ve never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines. I represent the majority of women and I’m very proud of that.
311
312
313
314
I’m always just happy to see when models are working hard, doing well, and really, above all else, doing good things. I love when they work for charities or inspire education. Look at Karlie Kloss promoting education – that’s wonderful.
315
316
I grew up in Arizona, but I moved to L.A. when I was 18 to model. I was doing work for American Apparel and then got cast in the Yeezus tour. Vanessa Beecroft did the creative direction, and they hired three American Apparel models and nine dancers – it wasn’t a lot of dancing; we were mostly just walking.
317
318
Historically, there has been a gap between single-purpose racecars and street-legal models – commonly called supercars – that emulate the real racers on the road.
319
Even if you have a brain predisposed to liberalism, you might end up with some conservative friends or find inspiring conservative role models who could be very influential on you, and that could send you down a different track in life.
320
321
322
Prior to the early 1960s, economic theorists rarely constructed models customized to capture unique institutions or specific market characteristics.
323
Machine learning is looking for patterns in data. If you start with racist data, you will end up with even more racist models. This is a real problem.
324
Auto executives have shunned the limits-of-growth issues and concentrated nearly all their energies on the next quarter’s sales and next year‘s models.
325
326
In my family, as in all dysfunctional families, instead of parents who act as strong and nurturing role models for their children, you get these needy people who use their children. I was the kid who tried to take on the marriage.
327
328
329
Growing up, I didn’t have any role models that were sick that were doing anything with their life, ever.
330
Not all of us are born with the same role models and grasp things the same way.
331
I love creating models and coming up with explicit structures I can play with.
332
Artists aren’t role models. If you want to do that, go into politics.
333
Both my mom and dad were models.
334
Inspiration, in its rich variety, must be present in any discussion about Africa. We need role models – they are essential to the advancement of our society.
335
There’s not many models in the U.S. that have my depth – like, really dark skin – that are also plus size. Skin color has been one of those things we haven’t really, really addressed on a large, widespread scale.
336
Models are like athletes: You burn hard and fast.
337
In my day, there were 20 models in all of India, three of whom were male. One of whom was me.
338
The big problem is that a lot of Americans, whether they are underrepresented minorities or from rural areas, do not know about career opportunities in the tech industry because they may not have had role models who are part of this field or learned about STEM in school.
339
We absolutely need more role models. I think we need more people to come forward and be proud of who they are.
340
Acting has always been something I’ve wanted to get into. I think the best models are actors; you’re taking on a character. In that sense, I have been acting for a long time. It didn’t seem like a crazy transition.
341
I once knew a house rather like The Land of Smiles – an old house occupied by a varied collection of young people, mainly students. However none of these people were true models for the characters in the book, though their way of life may have been.
342
No, I don’t think I have the same body type as the other models in shows. No, I don’t think I am the best at any given show. Yes, I want a unique walk, but I also know I have to improve.
343
As a graduate student, I wrote a long paper connecting the dots between mathematical models of learning and language development in children. It was published in a major journal.
344
Social media has truly helped my career because it has given models a voice. And a voice is something that we want to see a change in the industry.
345
Models are some of the most insecure people I’ve ever met. They’re constantly being told they’re not good enough. You’ve really got to practice loving yourself.
346
The victory in the 1992 World Cup changed Pakistan cricket. A number of cricketers from that side turned out to be role models and inspiration for the younger generation.
347
348
For the women’s team, our job is to be professional footballers for club and country and be the best role models we can be.
349
350
The information age has ushered in a networked and interdependent world, one in which challenges and opportunities appear and disappear faster than traditional organizational models can manage.
351
The atmosphere of a shoot is so intimate, while a show is more of a celebration of that designer and their work and the models coming together to walk in the clothing and present the frocks in their unique way.
352
353
I do believe that if models look like children, then they shouldn’t be sexualised.
354
What I don’t like to see is when models of different races come in and out of fashion.
355
A lot of people don’t know who they are as a wrestler. Even people that walk into the doors of the Performance Center. They might be world-class athletes or models, but they don’t know who they are in the ring.
356
People think that models don’t eat. We do eat. Or at least I do. I just work really hard to stay in shape.
357
A ton of little girls I talk to, they want to be actresses or singers or models.
358
Especially in the world of fantasy and superheroes, it’s great to have role models that aren’t in skimpy little outfits, in impossible poses. That’s so important for young women.
359
360
361
362
363
As seventh graders, my classmates and I would make rockets to see what made them fly and models of remote-controlled motor boats because Palanpur had heavy rainfall.
364
365
366
367
368
All that young people have to look up to are older role models, and I think it’s important to have people like myself show that it’s OK to be who you are when you’re young.
369
My parents are my role models. All they’ve done for me, they’re just major people in my life. They’ve stood by me and got me where I am today.
370
One-third of all professional baseball players come from Latin America, and Sosa is following role models such as the late Roberto Clemente, a Puerto Rican, from whom he adopted the No. 21. Now he is a model for others.
371
Hey, our Founding Fathers wore long hair and powdered wigs – I don’t see anybody trying to look like them today, either… But we do look to them as role models.
372
373
374
Some people shun the idea of role models but I think it’s one of the most important things people have in life – role models, to look up to.
375
376
It’s critical for girls to see role models like myself that are in technical fields. Looking for ways to come in as speakers or do a career day, or just find a way to connect with students or invite students to their workplaces to shadow them for the day… is critically important.
377
378
I do believe that models should be older now. You tell girls to go and catwalk and be sexy, but some of these girls have never even experienced their first kiss, so they don’t understand how to be like that.
379
I must admit that I don’t really understand social networking models that well, and I haven’t tried to because I have just not been enthused about this whole thing.
380
381
The problem is that many times people suspend their common sense because they get drowned in business models and Harvard business school teachings.
382
I work on the boundary between economics and statistics in this field called econometrics. Part of my interest is understanding how you use statistics in productive ways to analyze dynamic economic models.
383
384
385
People strive to be models or actresses – but a lot of what you see isn’t actually real. There is no perfect body. Everything is retouched.
386
We didn’t know we might become role models but it’s good that we did because if you’re put in a position like this, you should try to make a difference because a lot of kids today don’t have role models.
387
Some people start modeling because they want to be models and they want the parties and the recognition, and then there are people like me. I come from a simple family, and for me getting into modeling was a chance to make money and create a business.
388
I’m not a twentieth-century novelist, I’m not modern, and certainly not postmodern. I follow the form of the nineteenth-century novel; that was the century that produced the models of the form. I’m old-fashioned, a storyteller. I’m not an analyst, and I’m not an intellectual.
389
Governments, whether right or left, have become commissioners-in-chief, nudging and cajoling networks into preferred business models without the slightest sensitivity or awareness of what the public wants or the TV industry is capable of.
390
African soccer has grown to the extent that the majority of its players are playing for European teams and that is very good as they are becoming role models for the youngsters on the continent.
391
392
That’s what I look for in models: Someone who can tell a story and has a presence in front of the camera.
393
Many different relationships among patients, doctors, and drugs are possible and desirable. As in so many other areas of life, the Internet encourages experimentation. Questionnaire-based pharmacies operate between the traditional prescription and over-the-counter models.
394
395
People are still under the misguided impression that models don’t eat. Not sure about the other girls, but I do!
396
Swimmers provide much healthier role models for teenagers than the catwalk.
397
I get on well with models, and I like to treat them well.
398
We continue to see summer as a great place for unique concepts, innovative business models, and passionate television audiences.
399

400
401
The truth is, there are many types of businesses that require thousands of dollars to be invested during the startup period. However, there are also many different types of business models that you can run from the comfort of your own home without having to reach too deep into your wallet.
402
I grew up watching cinema in my country that wasn’t telling stories about us, and we had to find a way to connect, and our references, our role models had nothing to do with us. And I’m so glad that it’s changing.
403
I never really thought about the fact that there weren’t female role models, because I had them in my life. The women I knew in my life were so strong.
404
Children need models rather than critics.
405
406
407
We can’t just pay attention to women who look fantastic in a photograph, because there are a lot of people that have fantastic things to say that don’t look like 25-year-old white models.
408
409
410
411
The most important part of fashion photography, for me, is not the models; it’s not the clothes. It’s that you are responsible for defining what a woman today is. That, I think, is my job.
412
Newspapers are busily experimenting with different models. Traditionally, and I suspect in hindsight very mistakenly, online news was free. And once given free access readers felt it was their entitlement.
413
414
My first shoot was on a rooftop in swimsuits with two plus-size models who were curvy and voluptuous and beautiful, and they taught me so much about being beautiful in any shape or size.
415
Growing up, I really didn’t have a lot of role models.
416
Mulberry Street was the beating heart of the Italian-American experience, but you don’t find those gangsters now. I live with a bunch of yuppies and models.
417
While we can learn from U.S. models, we certainly can’t practice them.
418
419
420
421
A revolution is to bring on change and we’re spiritual people trying to bring on spiritual change. It might sound like I’m a dreamer, but economic models have reached their height of evolution. Technology has evolved. What hasn’t evolved is mankind’s spirituality; everything is from 3,000 years ago.
422
Kids in college often look for mentors and role models to model their careers after, and women don’t have the equivalent of a Steve Jobs or Bill Gates. I think it’s a self-perpetuating loop.
423
424
Technology in renewable energy has already led to many innovations in business models, products, and solutions.
425
I wasn’t against becoming a dad: I’d had a good childhood, as childhoods go, and as role models, my imperfect parents were as good as or better than most.
426
Our ultimate goal with Real Models is to open a school and I would love to do it here in Miami, open up a charter school.
427
We talk sometimes about the impact we hope we’re having, that little girls – and boys – at home are watching us on TV. We can be role models.
428
It’s really great to hear that people do look at us as role models and we hope we are able to live up to that expectation as well.
429
430
431
I’ve had some very strong female role models, so I think that’s an important thing.
432
Early on, after gay liberation, there was an almost Stalinist pressure from gay critics and even gay readers to write about positive role models. We were never supposed to write negative things about gays, or else we were seen as collaborating with the enemy.
433
Kenzo were celebrating their 30th anniversary, and they did this big, huge show in Paris and invited back all the models who’d walked for them in the 30-year era. How I found myself in the mix, I’ll never know.
434
I think that we need women role models everywhere. I think that it’s really hard to imagine yourself as something that you don’t see.
435
Models eat. They’re crazy about moderation, but they eat.
436
I’ve had over a dozen models come in and pose fro me live for these new Cirque pieces. Cirque is a world-wide phenomenon and they are just incredible athletes. I’ve been to all the performances and am really fascinated by all of their productions.
437
438
We have people building models in Roblox for their Mayan ruins history project, or we’ve had people build tornadoes for their weather project. Roblox can be used in a lot of different ways.
439
New mobile-payment-based models are, in some ways, more secure. Because in a model like Circle’s, for example, we never transmit your personal information or your financial credentials to the people you’re paying.
440
I still believe there is a need to open up search and it will come eventually. It is very important to challenge the current models.
441
We’ve come a long way, but we’ve still got a long way to go, so we need to give our time to promote the game and be role models – to make the next generation see us and want to become us.
442
In my opinion, one of the most exciting potentials of the blockchain relate to creating new business models, whether in public or in private settings. In most of these cases, the new models don’t care for incumbents because they are mostly on a disruption quest.
443
We need to have our children look up to real role models.
444
445
What our children are missing today are good role models.
446
In New York City, you can walk down the street and see a girl in a trench who looks equally as cool as a girl wearing Lululemon. It’s like you’re watching models. You see a little of everything right by you.
447
The reason we make money is because we have a few different business models. One is ads: we get incredibly high click rates because most people on Scribd are searching the site for something, or they came from a search engine, and they’re looking for something specific.
448
449
My African-American friends thought it was cool that I was racing. It’s not like we had any role models out there to look up to, so everyone understood I was doing something very different.
450
I just feel like people need role models, you know, that are dressed.
451
I think models in general have a certain insecurity about themselves because they’re known for being beautiful, so they have to prove to everybody they have personality and they are intelligent.
452
Most fashion models do not look good in bikinis because they’re too thin.
453
454
TV is a medium with a wide reach and viewers consider actors role models. Hence, one must realize the responsibility of portraying a certain character.
455
456
457
There are many mediocre entertainers who don’t aspire to much more than fame and glory. It’s very easy to have them as your role models because there aren’t as many greats. Go back, discover the greats, and take it from there.
458
459
I don’t want to have to think about what is right; I want to live right. And what that means to me is going to be different to some of my fans, some of their parents, and some other role models.
460
Any successful company has female models.
461
Human adaptability simply doesn’t get accurately captured in econometric models.
462
463
464
Buildings are always better than drawings and models.
465
466
467
There is no shame in black athletes not wanting to be role models, but there should be shame when they don’t behave like one. It’s a free country and people can do whatever they want. But just because we can doesn’t mean we should.
468
469
Having buildings, growth models, having great progress, flyovers, and no human being is feeling for human being is a nightmare scenario.
470
Once we start deliberately messing with the climate systems, we could inadvertently shift rainfall patterns (climate models have shown that rainfall in the Amazon might be particularly vulnerable), causing collapse of ecosystems, drought, famine, and more.
471
I go to the studio every day, but I don’t paint every day. I love playing with my architectural models. I love making plans. I could spend my life arranging things.
472
With innovative companies and products like Tencent’s WeChat messaging service and novel approaches to artificial intelligence and various business models, China rapidly is becoming an innovator in its own right.
473
474
In an economy where more and more value is in information – is in the bits, not the atoms, where bits can be copied essentially for free – any time you have that situation, economic schemes that rely on existing models of intellectual property laws for protection are going to do less and less well.
475
476
477
It might sound like I’m a dreamer, but economic models have reached their height of evolution. Technology has evolved. What hasn’t evolved is mankind’s spirituality; everything is from 3,000 years ago. With spirituality comes morals, a better way of thinking.
478
479
At Camfed, we have focused on transforming the vicious cycle of poverty in many rural African communities into a cycle of opportunity. Alumnae of Camfed’s programs go on to become role models and mentors for future generations of young students. We call this the ‘virtuous circle,’ and we know this is a model that works.
480
Traditional businesses can say, ‘We’re going to sell widgets to people, and it will make X amount of profit.’ But new business models are hard.
481
I think most models fear growing old, but from a tender age I had always chosen to play someone grown up. I am slowly but surely catching up with the people that I have spent the last decade and a half trying to portray.
482
Despite the hours spent debating different models of general education, the choices faculties make rarely lead to any significant difference in the cognitive development of undergraduates.
483
The most important role models should and could be parents and teachers. But that said, once you’re a teenager you’ve probably gotten as much of an example from your parents as you’re going to.
484
It’s quite rare that you find models taken care of backstage.
485
I didn’t have a whole lot of role models to say, ‘This much is possible, versus this much.’ So I finally said, ‘I think I’d like to be a mayor. I’d like to pull together a city and help do good things.’
486
487
488
Fortunately, human beings are remarkably diverse models to work from.
489
I like all the ’90s girls – Amber Valletta is so beautiful. I even love all the ’60s models, like Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton, they were so cool.
490
I guess rock stars are role models for the kids who listen to that music. My role models have all been geologists – you know, the guys who are doing fieldwork until they’re 70.
491
492
When I was young, I was looking for people to look up to – role models I could respect.
493
There are very few industries that I know of – I mean, there are companies in fashion, in cosmetics. They’re developing AI models and training them in the cloud in the beginning. If they’re successful, they build their own datacenters and develop the software in their own datacenter, like Uber does.
494
495
I’m enormously proud that I can do a deal with the National Women’s Soccer League to showcase the power and passion of women athletes as positive role models, not only for my daughter but also for my son.
496
Going back into the history of a word, very often into Latin, we come back pretty commonly to pictures or models of how things happen or are done.
497
For my film ‘Fashion,’ like an investigative journalist, I went about knowing the people, the models, the fashion designers. Similarly with the corporate world.
498
I didn’t have any role models of artists that were in the same playing field as me – making expensive videos, travelling, marketing and promoting an album.
499
All of my role models as an artist have always been women actors.
500
501
To conclude: good journalism is one of the models of good conversation and communication in the wider social context.
502
503
Technological developments are changing the way we live, and there is much talk of digitalisation and the disruptive business models enabled by smart phones, tablets, computers, and the ‘Internet of things.’
504
My role models were all men. I grew up – I was a big 1980s Laker fan: you know, the years of Worthy, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, and, you know, eight-foot-tall men that I could never emulate, and then these big 300-pound football players.
505
Families have become models for public life, constructing friendships between individuals of different temperaments, ambitions and ages, even if they are often unsuccessful. People now want, above all, appreciation of their uniqueness.
506
507
508
509
I find the sneeriness about ‘selfie-culture’ quite boring – I’m excited by young people taking control of their own images and finding out for themselves how much Photoshop has done for models.
510
The 21st century is significantly different from the 20th century. The old models will not hold anymore. More and more, we are one people on Earth. We need to share our problems.
511
512
Just for you to know, people, models, are very smart. We’re investing money in the right way, and, you know, a modeling job I’m taking as a businesswoman. So it’s not fun for me; it’s work.
513
Russia and China deride western democracy and deploy both hard and soft power to promote their alternative models of political development.
514
There are plenty of models who have children.
515
It is important for children to grow up in a world where there are all kinds of adults and role models around them, for them to know it’s not just parents and people who are parents that care about them, but that there are people who are living other kinds of lives.
516
Models are people. A lot of people like to make us some species that are not human; we are normal people.
517
The question really is, are you improving the world? And you can do that in many models. You can do that in government, you can do that in a nonprofit, and you can do it in commercial enterprise.
518
I think kids need role models. I needed role models when I was growing up and I ran into a lot of different people and that’s what helped me.
519
I have been skeptical and not trusting of traditional models of the entertainment industry. I never got a manager.
520
A lot of mainstream photographers seem not to think about what they’re doing or feel any responsibility toward anything. By the time they’re done, the models don’t have any trace of themselves left. This thing about looking young with no wrinkles or expression is all so boring, really.
521
My mom is one of my role models in a complicated way. I learned from her how to be a good mom. She was one of those natural moms who really took to it. Her chosen profession was teaching. She loves kids. But she was extremely frustrated and unhappy because for much of my life she was a stay-at-home mom.
522
We lack role models who can inspire our young people to make change.
523
My parents are definitely my biggest role models.
524
525
Most actors nowadays are models turned actors. That’s why a lot of young actors are terrible. You have to learn how to act. It is not something that you can just do.
526
All science is based on models, and every scientific model comprises three distinct stages: statement of well-defined hypotheses; deduction of all the consequences of these hypotheses, and nothing but these consequences; confrontation of these consequences with observed data.
527
I started Instagramming, like, my model life, per se, when I was 14. I got into it as, like, this is an opportunity to be able to show yourself not just as a pretty face but as a personality, which I think models have never been able to have until now.
528
I see girls that I know – I absolutely know – will be star models within just a matter of weeks, and they always are.
529
Increasingly, stars are recruited from the ranks of professional models, with the result that today’s starlets are better dressed and better groomed than ever before, though it is doubtful if they are better actresses.
530
Destruction is always an attractive idea. My brother and I used to spend weeks making models of cities so that we could destroy them in 15 minutes. There’s a fantastic joy in destroying something that you’ve meticulously built. Then you’re free to build a new thing. Destruction and creation… they’re inseparable.
531
When I started modeling, they tried to pay black models less than they paid Caucasian models. I turned down those jobs because I knew what I was worth.
532
There were a few models who used to stay close to my building. I used to admire them and tell my friends that I did. Those models told me get into modeling.
533
534
As educated girls become women, they can transform local communities and act as role models for younger girls.
535
The 1970s was the decade of developments in the new area of information economics. Search theory, which emphasized the need to gather information, was joined by models that featured asymmetric information, the case in which information differed across individual agents.
536
In Algeria, I had begun to get into literature and philosophy. I dreamed of writing-and already models were instructing the dream, a certain language governed it.
537
538
539
My mom is incredibly stylish, and she gets it from my grandmother. I feel like I can’t live up to how chic they are as women. They are great role models for aging gracefully, and that’s a thing that is very key that I try to always emulate.
540
Bill Weld and Paul Cellucci are my political role models.
541
I’m slim for professional reasons, and I work at it. I really want to continue working. There aren’t that many models who are still doing it at 60.
542
I don’t have traceable literary models because I haven’t had great literary influences in my life.
543
Objective leaders identify their unproductive mental models and tweak them for greater effectiveness.
544
Because I didn’t have any queer, lesbian, female role models I hated my own femininity and had to look deep within myself to create an identity that worked for me. Pop culture just doesn’t hand us enough variety to choose from.
545
All countries will eventually need to rebuild their growth models around digital technologies and the human capital that supports their deployment and expansion.
546
I love spending time with young people. I love to hear about what they think. It keeps me young. And they need role models.
547
Digitization and new technologies are rapidly changing all industries, forcing them to prepare for a tomorrow that is unpredictable. This also applies to the industry of container shipping, ports, and logistics, which largely has been driven by the traditional business models focused on optimizing how you move goods.
548
549
I would love to see all agencies connect to models more for who they are and can be as opposed to what they’ve done.
550
I didn’t have parents, so I lived in people’s homes… And because I grew up with no parental role models, I learned to become my own friend, eventually my own father and my own mother.
551
There was really no friendship in modeling, though a certain amount of warmth comes from running into models you know on shoots, because you end up in so many unfamiliar places, from Alaska to Africa.
552
I had no role models from my own community – there was no such thing. Earlier on, there were people like Dolores Del Rio, but I was too young for that – that was before me. There was really nobody out there.
553
554
During the 1950s, I decided, as did many others, that many practical problems were beyond analytic solution and that simulation techniques were required. At RAND, I participated in the building of large logistics simulation models; at General Electric, I helped build models of manufacturing plants.
555
There’s room for role models who make mistakes.
556
557
If you think about it, most cinema is built along 19th-century models. You would hardly think that the cinema had discovered James Joyce sometimes.
558
559
560
Models are just mannequins seeking validation at the hands of sleazy fashion people.
561
Role models really matter. It’s hard to imagine yourself as something you don’t see.
562
563
I’m learning as I go. I don’t know everything. I never had anybody to look at, nobody ever taught me, and where I’m from I didn’t have any famous role models.
564
However useful computer models may be, the one thing they cannot be is evidence. Computer climate models are simply conjectures.
565
‘A New Model’ is saying that women should be confident in who they are and that they can be their own role models.
566
I’ve never isolated role models based on gender. I have more male role models due to the mere fact that I’ve done business with more of them and they’re leaders within the verticals I work. Of those, Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos.com, is an entrepreneur and personal friend that I have a great deal of respect for.
567
Today, models are able to share industry news, trends, and communicate with fans through Twitter, Instagram and blogs. So in a way, our position as models is way more personable and relatable.
568
569
I have no models in Japanese literature. I created my own style, my own way.
570
We don’t see a lot of models for male social interaction. There’s sports and barn raisings.
571
572
You would never argue about a straight girl playing a lesbian. Everybody still watched ‘The L Word.’ I feel like we have such great role models, like Jane Lynch and Jodie Foster and all these people that you don’t even think about.
573
Online business models are still evolving. New and different products and services pop up every day. This gives rise to supporting products and services. A business can make substantial profit by helping others execute their plans for making money.
574
575
The models for me were more the folk-rock singers of the ’60s and ’70s.
576
The purpose of science is not to analyze or describe but to make useful models of the world. A model is useful if it allows us to get use out of it.
577
578
579
580
The problem is that with blogging, the model is publish first, maybe fact-check later. In newspapers, the model is you fact check first and then publish. But those models are merging.
581
582
A lot of people might think the job of a model isn’t necessary anymore, but just like an actor, singer – how they make you feel a certain way – how watching a dancer gives you emotion, models can do the exact same thing to many different people.
583
584
The American people don’t believe politicians. They don’t believe business leaders or Hollywood celebrities or athletes or other supposed role models. And they certainly don’t believe the news media.
585
I believe that everybody has the right to view his or her own body as a palette. However, I think intellectuals should at least try to be role models.
586
One way to mitigate our risk is to invest in companies with understandable business models.
587
Professional sportspersons are role models, recognized and they have a responsibility. Having said that, everyone makes mistakes and one needs to move on and learn from them.
588
Models are there to look like mannequins, not like real people. Art and illusion are supposed to be fantasy.
589
I lost a bet with another model. We were watching a Cleveland Browns game, and she told me I should be a model. I said that models are pretentious people who don’t eat. She said, ‘If you choose the winning team, I’ll do you a favor. If I choose the winning team, you’ll go to a casting call.’ She won, so I went.
590
Political analysis is full of chess metaphors, reflecting an old tradition of seeing games as models of physical and social reality.
591
Role models should be people that you know. Like your mum.
592
I envy those old Greek bathers, into whose hands were delivered Pericles, and Alcibiades, and the perfect models of Phidias. They had daily before their eyes the highest types of Beauty which the world has ever produced; for of all things that are beautiful, the human body is the crown.
593
594
People need role models, and they need to feel that there’s this opportunity to learn. They need to have people that will stick up for them. I want to be a part of that.
595
Sometimes, for girls, it’s about building confidence and giving them a can-do attitude. It’s seeing role models, people like yourselves, doing those jobs and achieving them, just to say, ‘I can do that.’
596
If you look at a multi-player game, it’s the people who are playing the game who are often more valuable than all of the animations and models and game logic that’s associated with it.
597
Sports is a metaphor for overcoming obstacles and achieving against great odds. Athletes, in times of difficulty, can be important role models.
598
599
Rappers are definitely role models and definitely should get involved. They’re involved in politics whether they like it or not.
600
There is a breed of fashion models who weigh no more than an abridged dictionary.
601
Growing up, I didn’t have a lot of role models – Bonnie Raitt, Lita Ford, Jennifer Batten.
602
The thing about praising beauty is that good looks are an unforgiving task- master, a Forth Bridge of a maintenance job. The passing years present their accounts. Younger models become available.
603
604
I don’t understand the business models of Flipkart and Uber. See no logic in people saying business models like that of Flipkart will flourish but that of D-Mart will not.
605
When I was 15, I was scouted at the mall by Elite Model Management. I started to go to New York on the bus in high school, which was about four hours door-to-door from my hometown, until I moved to New York and lived in models’ apartments all over.
606
We need to do a better job of mentorships and role models to bring other young women along so that there’s more women in our boardrooms, there’s more women here in the United States Senate and in Congress. I think there’s an important role for women to play.
607
I had many teachers that were great, positive role models and taught me to be a good person and stand up and be a good man. A lot of the principals they taught me still affect how I act sometimes and it’s 30 years later.
608
609
Yes, I was on the cover of ‘Vogue,’ but girls on the cover of ‘Vogue’ are the most scared of rejection. Models are the most insecure of them all. Actually, actors and actresses are, and then musicians, and then models!
610
Models need to be unionized.
611
There are so many male models who are working in high fashion, and they are broke. It’s good to be a woman.
612
Rock stars wanted to date the models, the trendsetters, the tastemakers.
613
Unlearning is gaining importance as workplaces are moving towards agile, collaborative working models. While conventional education adds to our knowledge, unlearning will become the new learning in the coming decade, as concepts and ideas keep evolving.
614
We need to have women as role models, both inside and outside corporate America’s leading tech companies, leading the path for other women.
615
In Congress, I will fight for an education system that bridges the opportunity gap in order to help close the achievement gap, and prioritize models that sustain and enrich whole people and communities.
616
There is also work to do in the evolution of a stable family life and values, and in ensuring that the Nigerian family is built on core values that will form the bedrock of the future society. We must showcase the ideals of family life and be models of family values.
617
One thing we do, to be inclusive, is that when we shoot campaigns, we ensure to do so with models of different body types, skin colors and with those hailing from different cultures.
618
619
Every agency would mention my hips. I remember looking at the other models and thinking, ‘I do not look like these girls.’
620
Most female models don’t have any muscle mass.
621
Before I started my modeling career at 20, I used to replay fashion show videos on-line and study how famous models walk and pose on runways.
622
Our players are role models; there’s no question about it. Whether they want to be or not. They are. So they’re in the spotlight. So if they do something that’s wrong, that’s in the spotlight, too.
623
624
I think Jennifer Lawrence is a brilliant role model for young girls, not some of the models that I see on the runway.
625
I think Stella Tennant is amazing. And then I really loved all those ’60s society models, like Edie Sedgwick.
626
Infected by political ideology, if you dare question climate models, your career is done.
627
There’s a lot of amazing women out there. There’s a lot of hot models. But models are the worst, because they’re models, you have to always step up and always look good.
628
629
I lacked role models so badly when I was growing up.
630
I, myself, have tried following people around me, and I’ve got lost and ended up feeling emptiness rather than a sense of accomplishment. I’d like everyone to find their own role models within themselves.
